Only the best choice for you if Video is your priority
I have the 8MP, 10MP and 12MP variety of this camera. The ONLY function for which this camera is superior is Video. In all other areas, it is an inferior camera.

The MAIN downfall to this camera is the ports and lack of an AC Charger. You're supposed to charge it with a USB cable, not an AC charger, yet the camera has an AC charger port and NO USB Port! So, you have to carry around the proprietary Kodak cable and charge it via a computer. I personally don't wish to use the Easyshare connection, and prefer to just take the SD card out and plop it my their computer or card-reader. So, I'd prefer to have a charger (which you can buy separately for like $40.)

I work for a community media organization where we all have cameras like this, and I can attest that the video (especially the audio that accompanies the video) on this camera is superior to any camera I've seen (besides camcorders). Also, they don't promote it, but the 3-picture panorama feature on the Kodak EasyShare's is uniquely easy and incredible and makes for some of the most simple and unique pictures I've seen (it automatically stiches 2 or 3 pictures together in a seamless panorama/wide-screen shot that looks cinematic and beautiful).
All in all, I'd say this camera is only the right choice for you if you plan to use it for a lot of video blogging. For stills, the other versions with a charger and separate USB port are a better choice. and 8-10MP is more than enough. Unless you're wasting paper and $ by printing everything, You shrink down every picture before sharing it or posting it anyway.

Great HD camera for the money.
This is a great camera for the money. My favorite features are the HD photos which are crystal clear and widescreen, the fast focus from this point and click, and the ease of managing all the photos. The size and view screen are great too. The only downfalls are the HD video which looks subpar and the flash could be a little less bright at close range. Other than that I would recommend this camera to anyone who wants to spend around $200.00.

Don't Buy This Camera - Display Sceen Impossible To See
I previously owned a Kodak EasyShare DX6340 and it was a great camera. I decided to purchase their new V1273 and found it almost useless. The problem is in their display screen. It is impossible to see even on cloudy days and there is no view finder to use under those conditions. Therefore your left guessing as to how to frame your picture. I wrote Kodak about the problem and they said all digital cameras have this problem. That is not true. While on a resent trip someone showed me there Sony digital camera and the display was clearly visible in bright sunshine. I contacted Kodak again about the problem and they said "sorry your beyond the 30 day guarantee". So now I'm stuck with a useless camera not to mention the accessories I bought with it. I will never buy a Kodak product again.
