I bought this camera for only $140 and that price was one of the defining factors for my purchase. I had read all the reviews and yet I thought that this camera couldn't be as bad as some people thought. Sadly it is. I used to own the kodak V603, which was only 6 MP, but it still performed better than this camera. That camera was ruined after I went kayaking and I and my camera went into the water. I also used to own the C340 but my brother broke that. It was only 5 MP and did better than this camera. Next time I'll buy the V1253 as a replacement.
Negatives:
-The picture quality is low compared to the V603 except in bright light where it is about the same. Pictures come out blurry indoors and often grainy.
-In the sun, you can't see the screen at all.
-You can hear the camera zoom in and out when taking video, and even when it's quiet you hear too much noise.
-IT FREEZES A LOT. That pissed me off the most. I thought it was just my camera but my mom's friend has the same problem with the same camera.
-The button to turn off flash is in the upper lefthand corner, which is inconvenient for people like me who prefer it next to the On/Off button to immediately turn flash off.
-After using it awhile, it says "Unrecognized file format" when I go into review to view pictures it recognized only a minute ago. To fix that i just turn it off and leave it alone for awhile, but it does get annoying.
-Takes a long time to focus.
-Takes awhile to turn on.
-The camera itself is pretty thick.
-Anti-blur mode makes pictures grainy instead of blurry.
Positive:
-It looks nice.
-Good pictures outdoors.
-The joystick is fun.
-Perfect touch technology right on the camera.
-Over 20 modes to choose from to fit your setting, including panorama.
Overall, this camera sucks. Even though i haven't tried the V1253, I'd recommend trying that over this camera. At least the V1253 has face recognition, HD video, and a large screen that may actually show excellent quality pictures the V1003 can't deliver.
