What users and reviewers are saying:
“The V1073 is, in my opinion, one of the best looking cameras in the market. The performance is way better than the earlier ones we reviewed – but as always there’s something lacking.”- Tech2.com
“The Kodak V1073 IS is a bold attempt by this camera maker, trying to flex a little muscle with some big specs and a new HD movie mode. With a 3x optical zoom and a 10 megapixel sensor, there’s more than enough power to handle your photographic needs.”- Digital Camera HQ
Our comment:
Having seen and tested the V1073 during its local product launch, I would have to say that Kodak’s V series lineup has improved a lot from the early days. I’ve owned one of these Kodak point-and-shoot cameras and was not impressed. However the V1073’s touch screen navigation and HDTV capability are two features that could help make this camera popular with camera enthusiasts.
