Hi,

Sometime ago I was doing some research to find out a small polivalent camera for my girlfriend (http://www.dvxuser.com/V6/showthread.php?t=137284) and I've asked about alternatives to the DMC-TZ5 and the DMC-FX35 due to the fact that both cameras seem to display a lot of noise/blur/grain when viewed at 100% of its' size. These days I was viewing some photos from both cameras and I bumped into 2 kodak models that got me extremely curious. The Easyshare V705 and the Easyshare v570. Now these 2 models both cary a unique kodak system called Retina Lens System, which basically means that this point and shoot cameras have 2 lenses. A regular 38-114mm and a 23mm, which I fnd to be absolutely cool. To my sadness I've found out these babes have been discontinued and you cannot find them anywhere. I've looked into the kodak website to find out if they were maybe replaced by new models but to my surprise that didn't happen either. Does anyone know for sure if there's new models with the same system or where could I buy an old one?
