Kodak intros slew of new EasyShare cameras
Not that we really expected Kodak to blow the doors off here at CES, but it did manage to unveil a gaggle of new cameras. On the docket first is the EasyShare V1273, which features a 12-megapixel sensor, a 3-inch LCD touchscreen and a 3x optical sensor. Following closely behind is the 10-megapixel M1033, which also shares the aforementioned 3x zoom / 3-inch monitor. Lastly, we've got the Z1085 IS Zoom, which gets equipped with a 10-megapixel sensor, a 5x optical zoom and optical image stabilization. It's also noted that the V1073, Z1285 Zoom and the Z8612 IS were mentioned, but we're left to surmise that these are simply variants of the others with a few more / less megapixels.Update: There's also an EasyShare m763, m863, m893 IS. Bet you can't tell which one has an image stabilizer.[Via ShinyShiny]
Hands-on with Kodak's new EasyShare lineup
Kodak has had some trouble producing true winners with its EasyShare lineup, but while we can't guarantee that the new V1253, V1233 and Z812 IS cameras will get the job done, they're at least a step in the right direction. The V models are slim and attractive, while the HD prowess of all three cameras is certainly a winner. We just wish Kodak would stop making us feel so bad about not wanting to buy into their whole printing ecosystem if we were ever to pick one of these up.%Gallery-6776%

Not that anyone was impatiently refreshing Engadget in anticipation of this news, but Kodak just made their trio of leaked EasyShare cameras official.

The $300 V1253, $250 V1233, and $300 Z812 IS are all available now. They're also launching their $100 Easyshare HDTV dock with remote control for a quick and dirty TV hookup along with a 10-inch SV1011 digital picture frame with 800 x 480 resolution for $200. See, you don't know everything.
Kodak's new trio of EasyShare cams courtesy of Google cache
We're expecting an announcement any time now, but Google cache has already revealed some inadvertently posted product pages for a trio of new Kodak EasyShare shooters. The Z812 IS (pictured, top-left) is an 8.2 megapixel cam with 12x Schneider-Kreuznach Variogon zoom lens which doubles-up as a chubby 720p / 30fps video recorder. It's also said to feature a 0.23-second click-to-capture capability while packing optical image stabilization to help manage the shake and noise from that biggie zoom and reported ISO 3200 sensitivity. The V1253 (pictured, bottom) and V1233 then, are both 12 megapixel shooters that offer the same 720p video recording as the super zoom. The V1253 packs a 3.1-inch LCD to the 2.5-incher found on the V1233. Both lack any kind of optical image stabilization, however. Now come on Kodak, make 'em official with dates and pricing.[Via LetsGoDigital] Read -- Z812 (via Google cache) Read -- V1233 (via Google cache)Read -- V1253 (via Google cache)
