Size matters in America. When buying a digital camera, most people are more impressed with long telephoto lenses than little wide angle lenses. This is silly. Think of it this way: If you couldn't get in close enough, you can always crop an image. But you have no way of adding things after the fact that didn't make it into your picture. Unfortunately most digital cameras, especially point-and-shoots, don't have very wide angle lenses. That's why I'm so enamored with the revolutionary Kodak V570, the first camera Kodak introduced with dual lenses. One lens is a conventional 3x zoom, equivalent to a 39-to-117mm 35mm lens. But the other lens is a 23mm ultrawide-angle! Just press the zoom rocker and the camera automatically switches between lenses.

The very pocketable 5 megapixel V570 typically runs between $320 and its $399 list price. But Dealhack has a coupon code to buy it from Dell for just $299. That's a great price for this unique camera. Move quickly. The coupon expires after 350 uses.

Read Terry Sullivan's review of the V570 at pcmag.com. And one bit of additional advice. By default, Kodak uses digital zoom to bridge the gap between the two lenses. Turn that feature off. You're just throwing out pixels and may be disappointed with the results.
