I've owned this for just over a week now, and have found it to be everything I'd expected, for the price, an amazing deal...

I did alot of research before finally choosing this camera. The price seemed right, it had extremely high megapixels, and was compact in size. It seemed perfect.

Upon reiceiving it, I was immediately wary. It was sluggish. I found that after taking a picture, when I pushed to review it, sometimes it would take 20 -30 seconds to load. Then it would freeze. The pictures were often grainy or blurry. I hoped that maybe with continued use, it might begin to work better- but it didn't. As the weeks went on, it froze more and more.

One month after my purchase, it broke entirely. I took it to the beach and kept it in a zip lock bag, and placed it inside a waterproof sling. The next day, it didn't turn on. I sent it into Kodak to get it looked at in hopes of the warranty kicking in. I was charged a large sum for the inspection, then told that there was some sand in it. To get it fixed it would cost a hundred dollars, in which I had already spent 50 for them to look at it.

I have a Kodak z760 that is amazing. I had thought to upgrade with this camera. However, my 6 megapixel took far better pictures than this one ever did. Its been very durable, I've taken it to the beach, my sister has dropped it, its been wet, and it has never failed. This camera was always very slow, the pictures were not quality

Every time someone sees that I have a camera with 12 mp they ask, oh my goodness, how good is it?? I've never seen a camera with 12 mp! Well, I tell them, for less than 200$, I got what I paid for, which was a camera that takes still shots EXTREMELY well. So, well that I actually have had still shots of flowers and birds that people want me to frame. Moving shots are a lot harder, but I am going to keep experimenting with it and I'm sure I'll grow to love it more as I'm familiar with it's specs.

This camera is really easy to use, great for beginning photographers. It's also pretty small and lightweight. Not the smallest I've seen, but it's definitely up there. The picture quality is excellent, not grainy or anything. Keep in mind that I am a novice, so I don't know any really detailed specifics, but what I do know, I definitely like!

Overall, I feel that the Kodak Easyshare V1233 12.1MP Digital Camera is the perfect trade-off between price and quality. It's definitely the cheapest you'll find for a camera with so many megapixels!

Excellent camera, compact but it has all the features i was looking in a digital camera.
