Great wide fields and excellent image quality
 
Review Date: January 10, 2007
Reviewer: NewCD, Houston, Texas
This is a great camera! Finally someone has made a camera that takes in the whole field of view, not just a small portion of it. Also the image quality is excellent. I took some pictures in a low lighted restaurant without a flash and they came out extremely well. In normal lighting conditions the pictures are sharp and the color is excellent. The screen menu is also very intuitive and easy to use.

On the down side, there are a few minor issues. First, it is rather annoying that the focal length jumps from 23mm all the way to 39mm and then zooms up from there. I would have preferred that the second lense began at 32mm or 34mm rather than at 39mm so that more of the mid-range was available. Second, the battery is rather small. I would have preferred that the battery was larger so it would last longer. I haven't had an issue with the battery running out on me, but I know it would last longer if it were bigger. Third, (and this is an issue for all pocket cameras, not just the V705), I wish someone would make a camera case that had a belt clip as well as a battery pocket. I haven't been able to find that anywhere for any of my pocket cameras.

All in all, this is a great camera. I also own a Canon SD300 (which is also a great camera) but I find that I take the V705 with me most of the time because of the beautiful wide angle shots it takes.
GREAT PRODUCT FOR THE INVESTMENT

Reviewer: S. dyer,
This is about the 5th digital camera I have owned and I think that none have compared to the quality vs price as this one. I was a little frightened by some of the reviews but after getting this camera I have taken about 200 pics in the last 4-5 days (learning how to use the different settings) and I am really pleased that I ordered it. As with all new products you buy you have to learn how they work. The more options, the more to learn. I was impressed with the movie quality also in that most cameras do not have that great of quality. I converted the Quicktime to WMA for DVD and they looked great on a big screen TV. The only little drawback I see is the door to the card that I am very careful when opening.I have always carried a couple spare batteries and if you buy a charger and keep them charged there is no problem. This I think is true with all battery based items with a lot of use. I also keep 3-4 extra cards for storage. You don't depend on flashlights and not keep extra batteries or blame the flashlight when it quits.
in cameras panoramics--no computer needed

Reviewer: Ken,
there are a lot of canon lovers who like to post negative reviews on other camera brands. well, this camera has a unique feature that other brands don't have--in-camera stitching of up to three wide angle shots so that you get a great superwide panoramic shot right out of the camera. no computer is needed. and yes, you can save the shots individually if you want to stitch them on a computer. just save three individual 23 mm shots--it is not rocket science. comments that the camera lacks RAW are silly--this is not a big, bulky dSLR or a really sophisticated camera with lots of manual controls--sorry, but that is not the target for this camera--it is a pocket camera that takes easy, wide angle shots and panoramics. RAW is for people who want to fine tune pictures on their computers.
so, in sum, this is a great camera for shooting scenery and when indoors, getting all the folks in the picture without having to back up far away. i highly recommend it! (and Kodak's colors are wonderful!)

Reviewer: brutus sanchez,
Before I bought this camera, I was worried about some of the reviews. I guess you can't please everyone. As long as you can recharge the camera, or carry a spare li-ion battery, you will be fine. The zoom is great, but the really outstanding feature of this camera is the wide angle lens. You won't be just using it for those indoor family shots-- it is great outdoors too, taking in additional scenery without distortion. The panorama feature is easy to use, too. I took 245 pictures in 7 days and love this camera.
More than a platonic feeling

Is it possible to be in love with an inanimate object? Because I am!!! I love the wide angle lens on this camera, it just makes the pictures look more professional whether your doing landscapes and portraits or just having a night out at the bar. I'm not a big fan of their red eye technology, but the rest makes up for it. You can use the fish eye lens, sepia for an aged look, or spotlight. It also enhances your pictures with Perfect Touch, if you so choose, and your pictures become more vibrant (helpful if they were taken in a dark setting. Plus you have about 26 different portrait settings to choose from (landscape, action, night, portrait....) It was a great buy for me. And it's very sleek and easily fits in a pocket!
