The 12-megapixel Kodak EasyShare V1253 offers a f/3.4-5.3, 37mm-111mm (35mm camera equivalent) 3x zoom lens and a 3.1-inch LCD. Featuring 22 automatic shooting modes, face-detection technology, a light-sensitivity limit of ISO 1600 (or ISO 3200 at a reduced resolution), and a 1.7fps burst mode, this ultracompact point-and-shoot is geared toward easy snapshot photography. The camera incorporates digital image stabilization and Kodak's Perfect Touch technology, which automatically optimizes image brightness and shadow detail. Other notable features include a broad shutter-speed range of 1/2000 to 8 seconds, a spot meter, a live histogram, and five color modes. The camera's video modes can record smooth 30fps footage at a 1024x720 resolution that makes it suitable for display on a high-definition TV. The camera can save video in the space-efficient MPEG-4 format and capture stereo sound. Like all EasyShare cameras, the camera is compatible with Kodak's docks and portable printers. The EasyShare V1253 is available with a MSRP of $299.95.
