Kodak Easyshare V1233 12.1MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom (Black)

I did alot of research before finally choosing this camera. The price seemed right, it had extremely high megapixels, & was compact in size. It seemed perfect.

Upon reiceiving it, I was immediately wary. It was sluggish. I found that after taking a picture, when I pushed 2 review it, sometimes it would take 20 -30 seconds 2 load. Then it would freeze. The pictures were often grainy or blurry. I hoped that maybe with continued use, it might begin 2 work better- but it didn't. As the weeks went on, it froze more & more.

One month after my purchase, it broke entirely. I took it 2 the beach & kept it in a zip lock bag, & placed it inside a waterproof sling. The next day, it didn't turn on. I sent it into Kodak 2 get it looked at in hopes of the warranty kicking in. I was charged a large sum 4 the inspection, then told that there was some sand in it. To get it fixed it would cost a hundred dollars, in which I had already spent 50 4 them 2 look at it.

I have a Kodak z760 that is amazing. I had thought 2 upgrade with this camera. However, my 6 megapixel took far better pictures than this one ever did. Its been very durable, I've taken it 2 the beach, my sister has dropped it, its been wet, & it has never failed. This camera was always very slow, the pictures were not quality

Every time someone sees that I have a camera with 12 mp they ask, oh my goodness, how good is it?? I've never seen a camera with 12 mp! Well, I tell them, 4 less than 200$, I got what I paid for, which was a camera that takes still shots EXTREMELY well. So, well that I actually have had still shots of flowers & birds that people want me 2 frame. Moving shots are a lot harder, but I am going 2 keep experimenting with it & I'm sure I'll grow 2 love it more as I'm familiar with it's specs.

The pictures are clear & the video in HD are on the money, highly recommend this cam 2 anyone looking 4 a easy 2 use & not 2 expensive camera. Kodak got down a little bit on this HD camera!

This camera is really easy 2 use, great 4 beginning photographers. It's also pretty small & lightweight. Not the smallest I've seen, but it's definitely up there. The picture quality is excellent, not grainy or anything. Keep in mind that I am a novice, so I don't know any really detailed specifics, but what I do know, I definitely like!

Overall, I feel that the Kodak Easyshare V1233 12.1MP Digital Camera is the perfect trade-off between price & quality. It's definitely the cheapest you'll find 4 a camera with so many megapixels!

Excellent camera, compact but it has all the features i was looking in a digital camera.
