"Kodak invented the digital camera in 1975 and we have been a leading digital innovator ever since. Our innovation has always focused on providing products and services that create a great user experience, and this ranking confirms that we continue to deliver on that promise.". J.D.

The Kodak EasyShare V570 is the world's first dual-lens digital camera, offering an ultra-wide and standard-zoom lens system in a compact, style-oriented design. "This is an important market segment for Kodak," said Faraci.
