Multimedia, AV We don't publish lots of camera reviews at OSNews, but sometimes something refreshing and interesting comes out, and we feel the need to report on it. Geeks.com sent us for the purposes of this review the Kodak V1253, a 12 megapixel digicam with a 3.1" screen, that can also record 720p MPEG4-SP video at 30fps. At just $220, this must be one of the cheapest 720p solution in the market.

The noise in the video seems pretty bad

What use is 720p video if its that noisy (witness the ground, especially)? Was that filmed from a tripod?

Yes, it was filmed with a tripod. However, as I explain on Vimeo, it has a gracious amount of color grading on it. Sometimes grading creates noise. Download the other sample, the straight out of the camera one, to make your assertion about noise.

The quality of those photos seems pretty bad to me. They seem like a slight blur has been added in Photoshop.

Nice review though.
