With touchscreen devices getting cheaper and making their way into every possible gadget
, cameras arent being left out. Now, its Kodaks turn. The EasyShare V1073 is an 11 MP camera with a 3x optical zoom.
It is thin enough to fit into a shirt pocket easily, but that also makes it a little difficult to hold with a single hand. The touchscreen also makes it difficult to use the camera with just one hand. The power and shoot buttons are positioned close to each other. The 3-inch screen doesnt have great qualityit is pretty difficult to use outdoors even with the brightness turned up high.
The quality of photos isnt too different from its predecessors. The colours in the photos are pretty natural but the sharpness will likely be a little too much for most peoples liking. There is image stabilisation, but images still end up a little blurry in well-lit scenarios. There is very little control given to the user, so there isnt a lot you can experiment with.
One of the key features is the HD 720p video recording resolution. A typical 25-second clip is 43 MB in size. The quality of the video clips is pretty impressive.
The touch screen makes a few other features easily accessible. For example, you can actually type in a tag for every single photo that you shoot using an on-screen keyboard. The high definition video recording is a feature that will interest many.
