Slighter body = tinier screen (by a quarter of an inch) = crappier playback. Relatively narrow lens angle. Nocturnal and lowlight shooting still yields noisy clips. Horse beater says

The Kodak Zx1 is not a bad little pocket camcorder to play around with. It’s competing with things like the Flip, the HD Flip costs a lot more money than this camera does though. For the price the Zx1 isn’t too bad really, and it is weather resistant ...

I really do like the Zx1, I have looked at quite a few small portable digital camcorders and the Zx1 is one of the better ones that I have seen. It is very easy to use, can shoot 720p at both 60 and 30 frames, and can fit up to a 32GB SDHC card. The b...
if I had to choose I would pick the Zx1 over the HDflip. The reason is the thinner size, different recording quality options, and ability to have higher storage space with the SD cards. The HDflip on the other hand would be perfect for someone who is ...
I finished testing the Kodak Zx1 with mixed feelings. First of all one must bear in mind that this is a budget pocket video camera in the sub-USD$200 bracket, it would be unfair to compare the quality to something many times the price.What the Kodak Z...
Good general color reproduction; three shooting modes.
Outdoor shots have blue cast; yellow cast in video shot with typical indoor lighting; poor video quality in lamplight; zoom stutters.
The pocket HD camcorder market is fiercely competitive, with great choices such as the Zi6, Flip UltraHD, and Xacti VPC-CG10. The Zx1 is more compact than those three devices, but its video quality leaves much to be desired. We recommend choosing one ...

Abstract: The Kodak Zx1 ($149.95 MSRP) offers its own unique HD recording experience for an ultra-compact budget camcorder. It has its quirks—sloppy button design, confusing labels, an impossible-to-find menu—but it also has some strong benefits. Kodaks inclusi...
