Kodak's $279.95 EasyShare V1253 packs a surprising amount of capability into a small point-and-shoot package. Not only does it come with a 12.4-megapixel CCD, digital image stabilization, face recognition, a wealth of automatic modes, and a large LCD, but you get the ability to shoot high-quality, high-definition 720p-resolution video. Just be prepared to wait between shots and deal with mediocre low-light performance.
At 4x2.2x0.9 inches, the V1253 isn't as compact as some of Canon's and Casio's offerings, but it's still small enough to easily fit inside a pocket with its 3x zoom lens fully retracted. The large 3.1-inch LCD is viewable in direct sunlight—which is good, given that there's no optical viewfinder—and its 960x240 resolution offers crisp detail for reviewing images. The camera's casing, available in black or glossy white, feels sturdy.
As for image quality, the V1253 takes excellent still pictures outdoors and in well-lit areas. The CCD picks up an almost disturbing amount of detail—think individual pores on close portrait shots—and the face-recognition capability meant that most of our shots were focused properly. Images were sharp and vibrant, with accurate white balance and realistic color (again, in well-lit shots). In darker conditions, however, the camera's higher ISO modes resulted in extremely grainy images. At night or in dim light, leaving the camera on automatic instead of choosing the appropriate scene mode virtually guarantees a grainy photo
