Should've Returned It Within First Few Days of Purchase

Overall I am not happy with the Kodak V1253 12 megapixel camera. It is very user friendly for changing modes for various settings. I have found that outdoor photos turn out great. The majority of photos taken indoors turn out very dark and blurry. I just can't get any good photos indoors. I would not purchase this product again, nor would I recommend it to a friend!

good looking but horrible image quality
- Reviewd on: 2008-12-22 By: C. Truong
Images taking are very blurred, no matter what I tried it is still come out the same result. Also, when you set in the "review" mode, the lense still protrude outward.

I highly NOT recomment this camera at all.

Decent mid-level camera with some great features
- Reviewd on: 2008-11-29 By: Andrew K.
Pros:
Easy to use-software simple to navigate
Plenty of adjustable camera settings for various situations
Camera quickly powers on
Microphone works well with video mode
Steady pictures come out very clear/crisp
3" screen makes it easy to take some quality pictures

Cons:
Poor quality low light pics (even with flash on)
Does not always sync correctly with Kodak easyshare software
Sometimes will not turn on properly-immediately powers down after pressing the on button
Certain camera settings produce unclear pics if you don't have the steadiest of hands (or it's windy)
Needs to come with an A/C charger

Overall, not a bad purchase. This camera's price and features make it a good competitor to some other brands.

Returned it in 30 Mins

I ordered this camera from Amazon and it came in no time flat which was great. Unfortunately the camera is going back in less than 1 hour of ownership. I took the camera out of the box and loaded it with an 8 GB SD Card and tried out the video recording capability. Now this camera can record at 720P and it records in Quicktime MOV. I have a Intel Core 2 Duo MacBook and the video was completely out of sync, grainy and washed out. I wonder if mine was defective because the video was NOTHING like I had seen on the online sharing sites.
