High-def video comes to two new Kodak cameras

Kodak kicks off its fall lineup with two new cameras that pack a lot of resolution into a pocketable package. The camera company just announced the EasyShare V1233 and V1253, a pair of compact 12-megapixel cameras that focus on portability and simplicity.

Measuring just 23.4mm deep each, both models feature the same 12-megapixel sensor, 37 to 111mm-equivalent f/3.4-5.3 lens, face detection autofocus/autoexposure, and HDTV compatibility (with optional dock). For once, this HDTV compatibility doesn't just mean you can show off your photos on your high-def TV; both the V1233 and V1253 offer high-definition video modes that can record 720p Quicktime movies at 30 frames per second.

The two cameras are identical, save for their displays. The V1233 uses a 2.5-inch LCD while the V1253 features a 3.1-inch screen. Of course, the bigger display probably mean a bigger price tag; though Kodak Asia do not have pricing information at press time. Both models will be available in black, silver and white versions.
