Kodak EasyShare V1273 12MP Digital Camera

Small, compact digital cameras are everywhere. It is really hard to decide on the right one. It all really comes down to what you want in the camera and how much you want to spend. Today we are looking at another compact digital camera from Kodak, the...

Kodak EasyShare V1273 Review

At the end of the day, the V1273 isn't a bad little camera, though poor battery life, nearly unusable high-ISO settings, sluggishness in odd places, and images that seem to emphasize quantity of pixels over quality generally hurt its chances with...

Award worthy styling, build quality, Vibrant images at lower ISOs, Shooting speed rarely a problem, Touch interface is carefully thought out

Screen is weak and hard to see, Power-up cycle takes forever, Full-res ISO 3200 not very useful, Get used to those "Insufficient Battery" warnings

Kodak EasyShare V1273

Stylish 12-megapixel camera with a touch-screen interface.

Stylish matte black design, great noise control

Touch-screen interface is annoying and poorly implemented, shots not quite crisp enough for a 12-megapixel sensor, screen very poor in bright light

Kodak's EasyShare V1273 is a decent compact camera that is hampered by its poorly implemented touch-screen interface. The shots are fairly good although a tad soft, but the controls will get the best of even the most tolerant user.

Kodak EasyShare V1273 digital camera

The Kodak EasyShare V1273 looks very nice and sports some clever technology that includes the meat of its sibling, the V1253 and some new twists. This means you get Face detection AF, Perfect Touch technology and Smart Capture that, similar to Pentax's...

Price, image quality at low sensitivity, lens, Smart Capture, optical image stabilisation

You cannot see the LCD in moderate lighting, noisy images at higher sensitivity, you cannot see the LCD in brighter lighting, poor AF in low light, you cannot see the darn LCD unless you're indoors or in near darkness!

Kodak’s EasyShare V1273 is a camera that’s more point and hope than point and shoot and the single most frustrating digital compact I’ve ever used. Grrrrr…

Kodak EasyShare V1273

From the outside, the V1273 exudes sophistication due to its metal/plastic construction and touchscreen. Sadly, lacklustre performance lets this cheerful camera down.

Responsive touch screen. Very easy to use. Pleasing image quality for a camera of its class.

Screen is impossible to see in direct sunlight. Zoom is incredibly slow.

From the outside, the V1273 exudes sophistication from its metal and plastic construction and touchscreen. However, lacklustre performance lets this cheerful camera down.

Kodak's EasyShare V1273 isn't short of impressive features, with a 12-megapixel sensor, 3in touch screen and high-definition video recording capability.
