I have been using the M1033 for about 1 week now and am VERY impressed. I have had some of the prior V and Z series cameras and did not have much hope for this one honestly. This camera is fast in operation, focuses quickly and takes great pictures with ease in most situations. Low light performance is better than expected but do not expect Fuji F30 like performance in low light.
I agree alot with what the reviewer said, especially the fact that it always defaults to Smart Capture. The Smart Capture mode is OK but I prefer to use P mode. (Check it at:Kodak M1033 video reviews (http://www.infoborder.com/Digital_Cameras/Video/KodakEasyShareM1033.php))
The HD video is OK but more hype than anything without a tripod.
I wish the camera had optical stabilization but honestly this has not been an issue so far. As a matter of fact, I tested this camera against a Canon SD800IS and the new Nikon S52 with optical stabilization and the Kodak took better pictures every time.
It is built like a tank. A surprising offer from Kodak at this price point...
