Kodak EasyShare V1073

Opinion: Impressively built, the EasyShare V1073 can take stunning still photos and 720P HD
video-which the quality of is very nice.

Smart capture is similar to some other camera brands scene recognition function-
very effective.

The lens is a 3x Schneider Kreuznach with optical IS-more much effective than
digital IS.

Touchscreen interface is easy to use and image and video quality is superb.

Opinion: I took this camera to replace my Panasonic fs3 (disappointing), and since my previous camera (very good) was a Kodak z730, I decided to try again with this brand.
1. - The image quality is good, especially in low-light. The camera manages very well situations with light and shadows (impressive for a compact!!!).
2. - Very easy to use, the default "smart capture" mode is always the best choice, except when you exclude the flash, because it increases too much ISO, in those cases it's better to keep manual setting.
3. - HD video has zoom and AF, but it's not very quick.

Opinion: This camera is my pocket camera. It has exceptional performance indoors in low light.

HD video is amazing, working in almost no light, where its sensitivity is essentially the same as the Canon HF100 at 24p.

There is no pocket camera anywhere comparable to the V1073 in low light situations. My Z1012 comes close, but it is much larger and heavier...

Opinion: - Very good image and hd-video quality (with optical stabilisation, zooming and focussing!)
- "Big" sensor with "only" 10MP (despite very compact)
- Low high ISO noise, good sharpness, really not far from a Fuji F11 (I have)
- Lot´s of nice features (rotating sensor, panorama stitch, 3" touch srceen, formats 3:2, 16:9, metal tripoid, tags, pp, etc.)
- Nice design, feel quality

Opinion: What was Kodak thinking with this camera? You can't see the LCD screen outdoors. There is no battery indicator. Just a warning just before it goes dead. The screen isn't too good for reviewing photos. The sound quality in video mode is terrible. Despite all this, the outdoor photo quality is great (although you can't see what your shooting). Indoor quality isn't bad either. Menus are confusing. If you want to watch your videos on HD TV you have to shell out lots of money for their dock station. I got this camera really cheap after a rebate otherwise I'd have returned it.

Opinion: Previous user does not know how to use this camera.
Traveling in Slovakia and Austria now and it is taking
excellent shots indoors and out. No flash needed indoors
most of the time. The colors are just great.
Please read the instruction book.

Opinion: This camera was very disappointing. I have never owned a Kodak before but heard good things. The picture quality was not up to my three year old canon. The smart feature that supposedly sets everything for you in any setting was a joke. My walls went from light tan to green taking pictures with that setting. The kodak setting for fixing pictures is supposed to remove red eye. It didn't remove red eye from about 75% of the pictures 25% is not okay. You can hear the zoom clicking during movies as well.
