tech: Kodak EasyShare V1273

July 21 2008 | WilHarris

In this video Wil takes a look at a portable camera with a twist - a touchscreen!

Forget standard interface buttons on the back of the camera, the entire camera is driven by the touch sensitive LCD screen on the back - a major time-saver for those who are perhaps not outstandingly tech savvy.

The V1273 also has a whopping 12 megapixel sensor and a rather nice chunky lens. It also has the most awesome panoramic photo mode which allows you to take stunning landscapes with just a couple of clicks.

Check out the video for Wil’s verdict - it’s a goodie.

Thanks for the great show guys - but perhaps you could pay a little more attention to post production QA?

Last week, sound came out of the left speaker only. This week the video froze and eventually crashed iTunes after about 20 seconds.

Hopefully you’ll be able to iron out the gremlins and we’ll be enjoying the great content again soon.

cheers

This one works fine now thanks

I’ve been thinking of buying a new compact and this is definitely one I will check out.

I know photography is not your main background, but several compacts out there have semi touch driven use, 12mp or 1080i. Making these features interesting but none of them are ground breaking in any way at all.
Combined … well … hardly.

Nice enough review though.
