The folks at DPexpert have a review on the Kodak EasyShare v610 where they write, 'The Kodak EasyShare v610 6 megapixel digital camera is “the world’s smallest 10x optical zoom digital camera” according to the company’s publicity. It uses the dual lens setup that first appeared on the V570. The lens in use when the camera is turned on covers the range from 38–114mm (the standard 3x zoom in film equivalent focal lengths) then, as the zoom control is moved up, the tele lens comes into effect, giving a range of 130–380mm. The switch is imperceptible.'

'When the Kodak v610 hits its sweet spot the picture quality is superb. Auto white balance, colour, focus, image resolution and detail are outstanding. The V610 will render every feather on a bird and every vein on the petal of a flower. Images have the typical punchy Kodak look, bright without being garish. Sadly the V610 doesn’t do it every time. More often the picture is blurred and useless.'

'No image stabilisation; noisy (grainy) LCD and very slow write time to the SD memory card meaning a long pause between shots. The camera reverts to Auto every time it is turned on. Preferred setting can be stored in a custom Scene Mode and recalled with a couple of button presses. Cumbersome' A nice review of the Kodak Easyshare v610.
