Kodak EasyShare V1253 Review

The promise of the Kodak’s EasyShare V1253 is immense. As the world’s first compact cam with a video capture function that can pull high-def, this could represent a rare case of digital convergence that carves out an entirely new niche.

While this 3x-optical-zooming camera shoots 12 megapixels—way more than anybody not in the poster business would actually need—the real story is the video function.

It’s got a very-necessary digital image stabilization, but I’d imagine high-def tremors will be unavoidable from something this small.

The camera is a bit bulky for a compact cam, but it will still stow nicely in a purse or pouch. It also requires a proprietary adapter in order to plug a USB cord into it, which is obnoxious.

At 3.1-inches, the rear LCD screen is absolutely enormous. There’s no optical viewfinder—so be warned—but the colorful screen should keep most pupils happy.

It retails for $300, and should be available now.
