I am looking for a point and shoot and hd video camera in one. I narrowed it down to these two. Anyone here now the differences besides the touchscreen feature which i am iffy about anyway.

Real life experience would be great. i am going to be taking family photos, and general stuff. thanks

is the battery life the same?

please see my other topic i want to compare the m1033 and the v0173. thanks.

mods, please delete this topic.

Based on the ongoing over at the Kodak Forum at www.dpreview, the V-1073 appears to be the better choice. I m sorry that I cannot give you any hands on experience as I use the Z-1012 ultra zoom.
