Reviews for Kodak EasyShare V1073 11.1 Megapixel Compact Camera

Good quality camera from Kodak

Strengths: We bought this camera and are very happy with it. Its 3' LCD is so useful. Plus the touch screen function is very cool and saves us a lot of time selecting pictures. 10 MP is also a big plus.

Weakness: We haven't found any glaring weakness yet.

Overall, this is a high quality camera from Kodak. We are very satisfied with this product. The 3' LCD, the touch screen, and 10MP can easily win our heart. So far the camera's been working flawlessly. We are happy!

Great innovative touchscreen camera

Strengths: Affordable, many features, easy to use, clear instructions on how to use the camera. HD playback is INCREDIBLE!!!

Weakness: Battery door not the best construction/Battery must be charged while in the camera - no separate charger/camera has locked up twice - just remove battery for a sec and replace it. Only 3X Zoom

Increadible simple, easy to use touchscreen camera! Work right out of the box/great pictures - clear, well lit - Kodak's PerfectTouch does a surprisingly good job of instantly fixing the photo after taken/great functionality/HD video/Clear settings/Touchscreen/info button explains how to setup for 4x6 photos, or whatever you want/very good light adjustment/Apple compatible/delete button offered on the screen right after you take the photo (if it's just a bad shot you don't want)/switches from view photos to take pictures simply by pressing the snapshot button halfway down - so simple!/solid feeling gunmetal construction/many other well thought out features. Definitely recommend it!

I love it more than Rebel XT

Strengths: sleek, small and yet very powerful touch screen makes navigation and setting changing a breeze Pictures quality is super especialy inside Amazing HD Videos Image stabilization and tracking

Weakness: Short battery life (about 110 pictures) LCD screen in sunlight is not good

This Camera is one of the best I have ever used. I have a digital canon Rebel but I love this Kodak a lot more. The touch screen is very useful and makes navigation and setting changing a breeze. The quality of the pictures is super and in some instances is a lot better than the Canon especially for pictures taken inside. The colors are vibrant and life like. The HD video is also amazing. Exposure in dark is very good. The only small disadvantage is the LCD screen in bright sunlight (it’s not very clear).
It has a 3x Schneider-Kreuznach Variogon optical image-stabilized zoom lens which makes taking pictures a breeze. . In addition to saving the pictures in small, It takes SDHC cards which allows me to store tons of pictures.

It takes about three seconds to turn on or shut down the camera. It has motion detection auto focus which is awesome and very quick. Although I wish that it would remember the last setting it was in instead of always going to the smart mode when you turn it on, maybe it’s just me not knowing how to do it, I think that this camera is just great.

Overall I love this camera and do not regret buying it whatsoever. I definitely highly recommend it.

Decent camera

Strengths: picture quality, touchscreen, large LCD

Weakness: Outdoor LCD view

I especially bought this camera for its big LCD and touchscreen features. The picture quality is very good in all situations. The major drawback is it's almost impossible to see anything on the big LCD screen on a bright day. I took this camera to a football game on a sunny day and I was not able to see hardly anything on the LCD screen and it was frustrating. Though I have to admit that after uploading the pictures into the computer, the photos are pretty good.
Overall its a pretty good camera with its sensitive touchscreen and good picture quality. So if somebody wants to use mostly for indoor purpose I would recommend otherwise look something else.

Nice camera with some flaws

Strengths: Touch screen based control, nice 10MP photos, HD video.

Weakness: Slow, or shutter lag. Screen washed out under bright sunlight. A bit short in battery life.

I have used this camera for about 2 days, and overall it's no bad. I mean it's decent camera for the photos that it takes. Remember it has image stabilization, which will reduce the blurriness from shaky hands. Nice HD video capability as well. The touch screen is very intuitive to use except since it's so huge, it eats into the battery life. The software package comes with the camera is very good, except that you need a reasonable fast computer to run it. I have a quad core computer Q6600 with 2GB memory, so it's OK for me. After all, I do enjoy playing with it and maybe some day I will print the picture out to see it lives up the 10MP resolution. It doesn't have a few drawback, but I think it's worth the money ~$230.

A good camera

Strengths: HD video, good in low light conditions, touch screen, plenty of SCNs with auto selection and auto adjustment, plenty of functions, large 3" LCD, larger CCD sensor than most pocket cameras

Weakness: LCD brightness is not enough. Under strong Sunshine, it is hard to see. Battery life is not great with the large LCD. No separate battery charger.

Overall, this is a good camera. I read a lot of reviews on several different web sites before buying this camera to replace my old one. It is indeed quite good. The LCD brightness is a concern since there is no optical viewfinder similar to lots of new cameras these days. Of course, large LCD means shorter battery life especially the battery is not large (in order to fit in the small camera).

Great camera!

Strengths: Fast click to capture speed.

Weakness: None

I love that the click to capture speed is so fast. As a mother of small children, I have missed many cute pictures because of the time that lapses between when I push the button and when the picture takes. Now I'm capturing all those cute facial expressions.

EasyShare V1073 Digital Camera

Strengths: Take Great Picture, easy to use, touch screen, compact

Weakness: cheaply built plastic, no view finder

I got a great price on this Camera after a couple Kodak rebate, so to me this is probably the best point and shoot camera I ever own. It takes great pictures with very little effort. The touch screen feature is nice and the image stabilizer is a big plus. Some minor issues I have with this camera is its cheaply built plastic housing making the battery compartment door opened easy and could be easily dammaged. There is no view finder, so you have to use the LCD screen ... But for the value, it's a good purchase for me.

Good camera from Kodak

Strengths: 10M, touch screen and HD Video.

Weakness: A little bit dark in LCD screen. only 3X zoom

This is a good camera from Kodak. May not be good as Canon or Sony brand. But it has a 10M res and touch screen. Less buttons on camera body and looks so neat. Touch screen operations all the time. Cool. Its HD video would be a plus.
The only problems I would say, it's A little bit dark in LCD screen and only carry 3X optical zoom.
