Kodak V570 Dual Lens Digital Camera

Kodak's latest innovation in digital cameras is the V570 Dual Lens. This camera features two Kodak Schneider-Kreuznach lenses each with their own 5MP CCDs. The first lens is a standard issue 3x optical zoom lens (39-117 mm); however the second lens is a fixed 23 mm ultra wide-angle lens. Zooming out to the maximum position on the camera switches to the ultra wide lens.

The combination of the wide angle lens and the 3x optical zoom lens creates the effective 5x optical zoom figure Kodak advertises. The ultra wide-angle lens allows the photographer to take wide, panoramic shots without having to use an SLR with a special wide angle lens. This allows for a very robust, easy to use point and shoot camera.

    From page 8:

    quote:

    Like LCD and DLP technologies, SED displays are fixed pixel displays and there are three electron emitters per pixel. The downside to a fixed pixel display of course is that you end up sacrificing quality if you display content isn't at the same resolution as the native resolution of your display.


    Actually, that only exist if at least 1 dimension of display content dimensions isn't integer divisor of display's native resolution. Secondly, DLP can overcome this by shining at only the biggest subset of mirror in the DMDs that do not cause distortions, then use adjustable sets of lenses to perform zooming, with each set zooming at only 1 axis.

    Please do a review of this thing when it becomes available. I'd love to see how its output compares to Blu-ray and HD-DVD. I'm sure it's not as good... but just how much worse is what I'd like to know.

    Samsung has pretty good scaling technology, but it seems to me this is something you only need in your display. (And Samsung TVs do pretty good upconversion already.) So, kind of silly.

    Raptor X.

    I feel so guilty. I'm drooling over a hard drive that costs more then a 7800GT.

    I've wanted a windowed Hard drive for ages though... but don't have the dremmel skills nessesary to add a window to an existing drive.

    Nobody has the dremel skills. Drives are assembled in clean rooms. Beaking the seal will be the end of a drive.

    I´ve seen a drive approx. a year ago on the net - modded with blue light - woring - 20Gig. Damn where was it....?

    I've noticed lately that article text seems to disappear a few seconds after page load, frequently when one of the sidebar ads appears. Can't be retrieved except by highlighting it, moving the page back and forth (so it redraws), etc. Happened on a number of articles over the past week or so...
