Quick review

The good
Price, image quality at low sensitivity, lens, Smart Capture, optical image stabilisation
The bad
You cannot see the LCD in moderate lighting, noisy images at higher sensitivity, you cannot see the LCD in brighter lighting, poor AF in low light, you cannot see the darn LCD unless you're indoors or in near darkness!
Verdict
The Kodak EasyShare V1273 looks nice and feels robust, it has a nice lens and good Face AF with a clever touchscreen interface; it even takes nice photos. But it also makes me very, very, angry indeed. Read on to find out why…
