The editors didn't like

  • 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

  • Relatively rugged, attractive design; captures video at 720p resolution; decent video quality; memory-card expansion slot; runs off AA batteries; bundled HDMI cable; relatively zippy performance
  • No bundled memory card; batteries don't recharge via USB connector; software isn't Mac-compatible; poor connectivity
  • While the Kodak Zx1 Pocket Video Camera's video quality doesn't quite match up to that of the Flip Video MinoHD, it does benefit from a stylish, rugged design and zippy performance, making it a likeable mini-camcorder ...

  • If you are contented with low-standard videos having a homemade or amateurish quality to it, then you might want to consider the Kodak Zx1 in your next purchase. Price will never be an issue with this super affordable video camera. It’s HD, too, but d...

  • Coque antipluie, Bonne précision d'image
  • Érgonomie des boutons, Écran médiocre
  • Moins élégant mais plus robuste que son rival Vado HD, le Zx1 peut affronter la pluie et la poussière sans problème. Il fournit une qualité HD de très bonne facture mais ses boutons sont assez rebutants. ...
