The Kodak Easyshare V1253 comes across as an average 12 megapixel camera from Kodak. While we are impressed with some of the images, we can’t but help that if you are a party goer, you will be disappointed with the performance and the images the next morning. We also don’t like the fact that to benefit from this camera the most, ie use the full 3-inch screen, you have to shoot in 9 megapixels.
