Kodak V1253 Review
The Kodak V1253 has something that most of the slim cameras lack of, and that is excellent video quality, during night or day the video quality in HD, 640 (HQ) and 640 sizes is really good compare to other cameras. The zoom has the problem that u do hear it when u record, but if u don’t use it then there is no problem.
On the other hand we have the 12Mpixel camera for Photos, I never used the 12M quality, always the 9Mp because of the wide screen, the 12M is not wide screen format… something that is really good is the size of the file, I got pictures of 9Mp with sizes of 600K or 900K in my PC, and normally should be 2M or something like that, but that is due to a great new compression format from Kodak that makes JPG smaller in size, don’t ask me how… in the dark the quality might not be the best, but still is very nice…
If you think about the things that I told you… then it’s a good camera right!!!
But here is the problem… after 12 days of moderated use, the camera on picture mode stopped working properly, first it was a “sometimes situation” that the camera would turn off by itself without closing the lens, and this was happening when u were trying to take a picture, normally with flash, but after some days it was very common up to the point that sometimes was working… and between those sometimes there was another problem, when u tried to review the pictures it would show you a wired message that said that the format of the file was not valid…. WTF!!!!
Anyway, when it worked it was not that bad… but I returned it and bought a Sony T200… so later on this week or next week I will post a video with some pics of the Kodak and another video with some pics of the Sony…
By the way… the Kodak ruined my Christmas because I could not take any picture on the night of the 24th…..
