Image quality
The Kodak EasyShare V610 exhibits some of the same image-quality problems we've seen before in certain Kodak cameras, including purple fringing on high-contrast edges and some blooming in highlights.
Overall, the camera tends to either overexpose highlights or underexpose shadows. Noise creeps in even at lower ISO settings. Images shot at ISO 64 are, of course, the cleanest but still show traces of coloured specs, especially in darker colours. The camera keeps this under control at ISO 100, but by ISO 200, noise is noticeable and becomes obvious at ISO 400. Images shot at ISO 800 are generally not fit to print.
Auto white balance produces a slightly warm cast, while the tungsten setting turns out a touch too cool under our tungsten test lights. On the plus side, colours are fully saturated. Reds, oranges, purples and greens look convincing and natural.

Good: The zoom and the image quality
Bad: Difficult to stablise at long distances
Comment: Contrary to the cnet review I find the image quality is excellent, especially for printing. Other cameras I have used have not taken pictures that maintain photo quality for very large prints. This can be discovered whilst ordering photos off the kodak website. Photos taken with the green and yellow photo quality indication on the camera are strong enough to be printed at all sizes the website offers. I have tried this with other cameras with higher MP with poorer results.
The only real downside is that the camera is slim and therefore difficult to hold steady for full zoom or low light pictures. I would recommend a small tripod for these situations to guarantee the best picture quality every time.
Video quality is excellent and the addition of bluetooth rounds off a small pocket sized powerhouse.
Over all a great point and click camera. Very difficult to beat even though it is almost 2 years old. Would recommend to anyone!
