kodak v570 v705: Samsung NV24HD New Favorite Camera but ONE Major Flaw: Video Length! - 04/27/09 05:20 AM
So disappointed. 
My new favorite camera (see review vs v570) is the Samsung NV24HD (see camera on Amazon, get a refurb!)  has one major flaw... Video length. It is limited to 25 minutes, even at the lowest settings. It isn't a battery or card issue, it is a camera issue.
This kinda stinks if you were planning on recording longer videos, like a conference or a panel. My Kodak v570 can last for about an hour on a full charge. Maybe even longer if pluged in.
So here is the Pros and Cons again:

kodak v570 v705: New Favorite Camera? Samsung 24mm? 28mm vs 24mm vs 23mm - 01/30/09 02:45 AM
Update 9-1-09: The NV24 is now getting harder to fine on Amazon for $150 refurbished. Also look at the prices on the Samsung HZ10W 10MP, which is just as wide at 24mm, but it is a bigger camera (probably sharper). It might even be cheaper than the NV24. Also Canon is coming out with a 24mm. Kinda the best of all worlds below (sharp and wide and small). But should be like $300.
So I have written a ton about my favorite camera the Kodak v570 and v705. No other camera came close. Here is a link to other reviews and … (17 comments)

kodak v570 v705: 3 Cameras in PHOTO mode Compared. Nikon D90, Kodak V705, Canon Sd600 - 01/07/09 10:30 PM
Here are three cameras on photo mode.
 
Canon Sd600 35mm (not wide angle, standard camera)

 
Kodak v705 (v570) 23mm Ultra Wide Angle Point and Shoot camera. (ignore ugly timestamp)

 
Expensive Nikon D90 DSLR With a 10mm-20mm Sigma, (10mm actually is "only" 15mm with this DSLR)

What do you think? Don't miss the VIDEO mode comparison in the previous post.
The only thing worse than a 35mm camera is a cell phone photo. Do you still have a 35mm?

kodak v570 v705: Fill Flash. The #2 Key to Real Estate Photography - 01/07/09 06:06 PM
I'm teaching a Real Estate class in about 6 hours and I'm too lazy to transfer the photos onto a card reader and onto the laptop for the presentation, so I thought I'd just make a blog post and surf on over tomorrow.
The #2 tip to real estate photography (#1 is getting a super wide angle camera like the v705) is FILL FLASH.
VERY FEW Non-Pros KNOW ABOUT THIS.
Every camera will have a different logo. Sometimes it shows up as an icon of a star over a person's shoulder

kodak v570 v705: Kodak v570, v705: How To Buy it. Still #1 Best P&S Real Estate Camera & Required Accessories - 05/21/08 04:13 PM
Updated 10-22-08
Stop thinking about what camera to buy. As of Oct 2008, The #1 best Point and Shoot camera is still the Kodak v570 (or the sister v705). See my review from 1-07.

Brief summary:
1) It is the widest point and shoot camera with 23mm. (The lower the number the better.) Compare the 23mm to a standard point and shoot camera (35mm) with the image on the right.
(note counterintuitively the bigger "SLR" cameras that advertise 18mm, unless they say "full frame" and cost $3,000, they actually are only 28mm)
2) The Kodak v570/v705 offers an in-camera amazing 3 … (70 comments)

kodak v570 v705: v570, Ultra-Wide-Angle Point & Shoot 23mm $200/ + 2Hr Free Class - 01/25/07 04:18 PM
Update 7-1-08 How to buy the v570
I was initially just going to respond to Your Camera Already Has a Wide Angle Lens By Aaron, but then I decided to do more research and make a larger post. Aaron's photos are great and I do agree that most point and shoots have a stitching software, but it isn't that easy. Yes easy if you have somebody showing you how to do it, but not easy out of the gate, and you know how impatient Realtors are... (and stagers)
I personally use a ultra wide angle lens on a SLR (or Digital … (83 comments)
