The $499 V610 is Kodak's latest addition to their dual-lens line and offers 10X zoom—with a twist. Unfortunately, the zoom isn't smooth and jumps between 114-130mm which, as the reviewer writes, is annoying.
The V610 is ultra-thin and slick and has a number of interesting pre-sets. It has to 6MP CCD sensors but can only take up to 6-megapixel pictures at 2832x2128. The 2.8-inch LCD is bright and fancy and it is compatible with all of Kodak's frippery, including the EasyShare printer and photo dock. Finally, the V610 is also Bluetooth-enabled, meaning you can send photos wirelessly to Bluetooth enabled devices and also, potentially, add GPS data.
Overall, the camera is a strong contender in the space but the 10x zoom wasn't quite up to par.

Comments
haven't tried this guy out, but after recently researching cameras for myself and family, I can say that offering anything more than 3.2x optical in a non-protruding lens is pretty cool. I can see where the 'skip' would be annoying, but not near as annoying as those no-optical zoom POS cameras that Kodak puts out.
