The camera not only shoots still images in HD, but also videos, all in MPEG-4 format (but more on that later). As always, the camera outsells the fact that its 10MP equipped, keeping the optical zoom range to only 3x, which is measly. It allows HD video at 720p and 1080i resolution.

The screen is highly reflective, so much so that you will have to strain really hard while shooting in the sun. You can play around with the LCD brightness a bit to get some desirable results, but only just.

The touchscreen feature sort of takes one back to the iPhone. It’s remarkably similar in concept, but in execution it leaves a lot to be desired. You can pretty much do anything, including the flick motion, which allows you to run through pictures in class. While I like this, I have refrained from giving it points for originality. Some quirks include instances when the flick motion acted up.



The camera comes loaded with a very useful feature for the lazy. Obviously, it's targeted at those with a lot of money, who are disdainful of manual controls. Yes, the V1073 features a smart mode, wherein you are expected to allow the camera to select the right scene mode for you.

I expected it to be slow in getting at the right mode, but it wasn’t. The camera takes less than a second to choose the right scene mode. What’s more, it also automatically adjusts the settings for macro shots, should you pull the camera close to a subject.


It’s not very accurate though. I hated it when I needed to adjust flash settings for every picture.

The V1073 is equipped with an optical image stabilizer, which helps in getting sharper pictures. You can even tag your pictures on the fly, so that you can reach the particular sequence with ease. Personally, I like this – it does away with the need to run through all the pictures to get to the ones you want to see.

Touchscreen, 10MP, IS, ultracompact... and its just Rs. 12000?
You've gotta be kidding me... are you sure its just Rs. 12000 or is it a typo?
