EXPERT REVIEW

Kodak's latest addition to its inventory of digital cameras will set your pulse racing for sure. The recently launched Kodak EasyShare V1273 made its way to our test labs a few days back and has left us all agape. Here's what it has got.

The Camera

The Kodak V1273 has a 1/1.72 inch CCD (sensor type) that can capture 12MP (4009 x 3009) pictures. It uses a SCHNEIDER-KREUZNACH VARIOGON 37-111 mm (35 mm equiv.) lens that has a 3x optical zoom and optical image stabilisation as well. The integrated 5x digital zoom takes the total zoom range of the camera to 15x. The camera boasts shutter speeds ranging from 8 to 1/1164 secs.

The back of the camera houses a 230K pixel resolution 3-inch touch screen LCD. Like most other Kodak cameras, the V1273 has a 32MB internal memory and features an SDHC/SD card slot.

The camera measures 93.3 x 57.9 x 21.0 mm (W x H x D) and weighs 148 grams. It's pocketable enough for you to carry it in your shirt pocket.
