Rank 1: Kodak EasyShare V570
Outstanding features: A first point-and-shoot dual lens camera for India, the EasyShare V570 by Kodak is a 5-megapixel camera. Both lenses are protected by a slider. Its ultra-compact body makes it an ideal holiday companion.
The camera lacks a viewfinder, so you need to use the large 2.5-inch LCD display. Besides still photography, the V570 can also record video with sound.
Additionally, it has various preset shooting options (very helpful if you are a novice -- some of these options include landscapes, sport, sunset, close-up, etc) and a panoramic image feature.
It has 32Mb of internal memory and supports an SD card and MMC as memory expansion options. The camera comes with a docking station and software CD. The battery is a rechargeable Li-ion and, claims Kodak, can last for 150 shots.
