My old and faithful Minolta DimageX died about two weeks ago, her digital soul leaving this material world and starting its journey to camera heaven (or landfills I think they’re called…). You will be missed, although not for long. I already bought a new Kodak V1253. I tried a few cameras at the store, and this one happened to be among the two that I liked the most, the other one being a very sexy Sony T-100. Five things tilted the balance towards the Kodak: a whopping 12 megapixel resolution, HD (almost) video capture, a clear button structure (the Sony is all touch screen, which is nice, but I like not having to look at the camera every time I need to change some basic feature) and the use of SD cards (Sony uses their moronic proprietary memory sticks) and a $300 price tag, instead of $400. So far I’m happy with it, lots of features, easy to use, and versatile. I’ll add more onto this post later on
