review Kodak V1253
image quality 66/100
fall after a detailed examination of the images on the computer, unfortunately, some problems in the eye. Unfortunately, even with Kodak This camera once again provided a very high compression for the captured JPEGs, no different settings are possible. An image of 12 megapixels is so only 1.5 to 2.3 MB. The effects show up only if you enlarge the picture and details are smeared by compression artifacts. Disappointing is that the lens also recorded very strong and dramatically loses its sharpness in the corners. From a Schneider Kreuznach lens, I would have expected more. As for the noise from ISO 200 shows this quite strong, and the noise suppression destroyed more details. At ISO 64 are the photos up on the error caused by the lens in order, a slight noise is However, even here in the shadows of the already visible. Moreover, the dynamic range of the sensor is not very good and bright areas appear "overexposed" often. The white balance is often not working as it should. Remedy is often only the targeted use of the matching program mode.
As for the wealth of detail it provides usually no better results than a good 6 MP camera. If you catch one the right attitude and situation, however, can also arise good shots. Just a pity that the results are not consistently good.
video quality 74/100
A main selling point of the V1253 is the HD video mode. And this is actually pretty good. The videos are not very much more detailed than VGA pictures are good, but quite clear and have nice colors. The sound is in stereo and has a camera for a good quality. On a 4 GB card about 40 minutes of HD video to fit in best quality. This is in today's ticket prices quite acceptable, with an 8 GB card is already fairly well equipped. During the recording can be zoomed, but this is heard quite clearly in the tone and the picture is during the Zommer hardly can recognize and stands only a short time later, a right again. Also a VGA mode, and higher compression levels are adjustable. Overall, a coherent package. HD sharpness one should not expect, however
performance / features 60/100
The display of the Kodak is a good size and has good resolution. An optical viewfinder does not have the camera. Unfortunately, no optical image stabilization, this camera would have done really well. The focus is just about fast enough, but comes with super high-speed Casio or Canon did not cooperate. For sports photography, the speed is often not. Very long, the camera also needs to turn on and off, take up to five seconds here. time to pack away so quickly falls into the water. The surprise package with a nice camera bag, but a tribute to Kodak. The finish is ok, unfortunately the only case of plastic, but looks fairly robust.
operation 90/100
The operation is very simple and well thought out. It's fun to use the V1253. The menu system is clear and concise, all important functions are within easy reach and there are many points for their own keys.
total 67/100
The Kodak V1253 is a nice camera that is a pleasure to use. Unfortunately it has some problems in image quality and can not really convince. Especially this one could finally expect from a 12 MP camera. How many other 12 MP Kodak suffers from the same species of small sensor and far too much compression.
