This Cam is ingenious… From photo quality, to video quality, to the touch screen, to the amazing simplicity and thought Kodak has put into the workings of the operating system incorporated within the v1273. In-fact, My fiance loved it so much she drove down to Best Buy (After a Month without letting go of mine) and purchased her own! My sis can not stop playing with it, even though told her she could have my v1253!

YES, it is a “little” bitty bit hard to see in extreme sun-light, but not as bad as most make it out to be.

This Cam, along with the Kodak HD Dock cannot be beat! I have owned this Cam for 3 months now and have had nothing but perfect pic’s, with moments never to be missed due to the extremely quick response from Point to Shoot, and video footage that more than justifies the footage from a $500 dollar Recorder. C-Net UK is either smoking crack, or has simply received a incomplete version of the Cam, because more then half of the things they didn’t like about the Cam simply “DO NOT” Exist!!! One bull-Sh*t lie of a review!!!

Highly Recommended! Get it, you will not be disappointed!
