Hi,
The V610 is generally pretty well-rated by users, while pro reviews are a bit shakier (see the conclusion to dpreview.com's in-depth review of the camera here). You can probably put this down to users being satisfied with adequate performance and great ease of use, while pro reviewers have stricter standards. dpreview's concluding paragraph is a good description of the camera's pros and cons:
"The V610 is a beautifully designed camera that has instant appeal (everyone here loved it when it came out of the box), and the innovative twin lens/CCD system is a clever solution to the limitations of lens size that keeps most ultra compact cameras firmly in the 3x zoom range. As it stands, I'd say this; if you want a really compact camera that performs superbly in all conditions, forget about the 10x zoom; if you really want a big zoom in a compact package, look at the (cheaper and more capable, though bulkier) Panasonic TZ1. If you've fallen for the V610's good looks, you really, really need something this slim and don't find the issues mentioned here too much of a compromise I'm sure you'll love it. Me, I'd wait for the V610's successor, which will hopefully see Kodak iron out some of this promising but flawed camera's more annoying problems."
As to why stores have stopped stocking it... I'm not sure that they have. Most internet stores still have it in stock. Big box retail stores might have stopped selling it, but they generally have much smaller selections, and this means that their turnover rate in models is higher. Regardless, you should be able to find one with little trouble.
Hope this helps!
