Kodak Zi8 Pocket Camcorder

The Kodak Zi8 is a competitively priced pocket camcorder which capture up to 1080p videos and comes with quite a number of great features making it one of the best value camcorder on the market.

What’s Good About It
Besides superior video quality that captures up to 1080p resolution, it offers several extra features that you don’t normally find on a pocket camcorder such as external microphone jack, electronic image stabilizer, and Macro focus mode that allow users to focus on subjects at close range. What’s even more attractive is the low price that cost below $150. It even comes with a HDMI cable at such low price.

What’s Bad
The bundled software that comes with the Zi8 isn’t Mac compatible but but you will need it for smooth 1080p video playback. Also, it does not come with flash memory card, so you will need to purchase it separately.

Kodak PlaySport Zx3 Waterproof Pocket Camcorder

– September 9, 2010Posted in: Kodak Pocket Camcorder, Top 10 Pocket Camcorders

Kodak Playsport Zx3 Pocket Camcorders

The Kodak Playsport Zx3 is the exact same pocket camcorder as the Zi8, minus the external mic jack and macro mode. What you get in extra to the Zi8 is the waterproof feature (up to 10 feet). It is also more rugged than the average pocket camcorder, but it certainly isn’t indestructible. Similar to the Zi8, it records up to 1080p resolution.

What’s Good About It
The Kodak Playsport has all the good things of the Zi8 except for the external microphone jack and Macro focus mode. The video quality is similarly good with strong low light performance, and it features the Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS) which helps to reduce small hand jitters when shooting video, just like the Zi8. In addition, the Playsport is waterproof up to 10 feet making it a great choice for those who like to capture a day at the beach, in the pool or out among the elements. Also, just like the Zi8, Kodak Playsport is very competitively priced at just $149 MSRP.

What’s Bad
It does not come with an external memory card which require you to purchase separately, and switching between regular and underwater mode isn’t that straight forward.

Features Highlight

  • Waterproof up to 10 ft. (3 m)
  • Full 1080p HD video
  • Electronic image stabilization
  • Brilliant 2.0 in. color display
  • Capture 5 megapixel HD stills (16:9)
