Kodak jumps on the touchscreen bandwagon
21 Aug 2008
Two new Kodak cameras have been reviewed that make the most of the latest modern obsession - touchscreen technology.
Trusted Reviews reports that the manufacturer has launched two compact digital cameras that are good to look at and offer some of the most sought-after features for today’s market.
It is reported that the Kodak V1073 is a ten-megapixel model with a 1/1.63 inch sensor and a maximum ISO sensitivity of 8000.
However, the V1273 is a 12-megapixel digital camera that, in addition to high definition video capabilities, features a 1/1.72 inch CCD sensor and boasts a 6400 ISO maximum sensitivity.
“Both the V1073 and V1273 are beautiful to look at, and the touch-screen interface, while a problem for some people, is well designed and operates fairly smoothly,” the site concludes.
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX500 is another model which features a touchscreen. However, the camera also has a hybrid system that features joystick control.
