Kodak Zx1 HD Pocket Video Camera (Black)-Perfect for Youtube Upload

We love Youtube. Don’t we? But we don’t like waiting long hours to upload the huge video files to Youtube site at all. You can buy the expensive hi-end camcorders from Sony or other brands for EXTREME hi quality but they are probably not best for youtube publishing. You need a GOOD quality camera with Hi Def that can capture videos but does not make a huge filesize. Also, if you are casual youtuber, you may wanna carry your favorite camcorder with you all the time in your pocket may be and record all of the exciting events of your day. Well, here is a camcorder from KODAK that you should look into.

Nice little video camera

Review Date: September 6, 2010

Reviewer: Joseph W. Kalinski,

When it was described as a pocket video camera, that certainly what it was. I was happy with the ability plug the camera in to my PC and use standard copy/paste commands. The quality of the pictures is great for such a little thing. Still pictures are of the 3 megapixel size and the ability to take 720 HD movies is great. Well worth the money.

Great pocket HD video cam, just not in low ligh condition

Review Date: August 12, 2010

Reviewer: A. Keiy,

I got 3 of those,2 for my relative with a new born child, they love it.
great battery life and they easy to replace (2*AA)
coms with HDMI cable and charger

BUT,
indoors footage with low ligh (not dark), just less than bright
the video lacks the crisp look

other than that, great unit

MOV files and audio needs to be tweaked.

Reviewer: Conradical, TX

This camera is a great idea for impromptu family outings. It is very portable and extremely simple to operate. The boot up time is fast. This is also a rugged camera and it is splash proof. It takes SD cards. I use 8 and 16 gigabytes and i never have had to change them. What i mean is, every family outing or hike i have recorded, i have never had to change the card. I have always had plenty of room left on the SD card.

I only have a couple of complaints and they are Big ones. It takes MOV files which most windows software doesn't support. i finally purchased the Magix movie edit pro 16 and it handles these files ok. The other gripe that i have is the audio recording. The recording volume always has to be increased during editing.

Regarding the 60 frames per second I have never used that.

Before you buy, make sure you can edit MOV files. The software that comes with it for editing is a joke.

Unless you can find it for less than $100, there are much better choices!

I bought this in May as a gift for a friend. I got it at a very good price, and when I got to hold it, I was very impressed with the build quality, especially the rubberized exterior, the fact that it came with rechargeables AND a charger, and it's portability...it fits in my pants pocket much better than the Flip Ultra. Anyway, the recipient claims he "loves it",yet never uses it. I've had several chances to take it for a spin, and I know why it's just collecting dust at home: it's NOT user friendly! I was unable to intuitively take a video, then view it, and I consider myself tech savvy at the least. This should be the simplest function! Then, if you press the wrong button, a series of folders and subfolders (??)appears, and still it is not readily apparent how to access these folders. Now, I'm not going to describe each button and what it does, mainly because the camcorder is not in my possession. But I will say, that compared to the Flip, this is a pain to use, and you must read the instructions entirely and keep them handy if you want the best results possible.
Of course the most important thing that a camcorder should do is take good video. Now the Kodak is a 720HD, and the playback on the LCD is excellent, however when I play it on a PC, the picture quality is OK, but it's way too grainy, although I will say that the colors are very vivid. The Flip Ultra without HD takes a much clearer video. So if you can live with an HD camcorder that takes lower quality video than a standard definition AND you can find it under $100 (or under $70 :), go for it. Hope this helps a bit. I'll upload a sample video soon.

Breaks in your pocket & Kodak warranty won't fix it.

Review Date: July 4, 2010

Reviewer: Lucas A. Miller, East Coast

I bought this camera for my deployment to Iraq. It was in my cargo pants pocket one day I took it out and the lens was cracked and the silver trim ring had fallen off. I don't know how it broke but it did. Anyways when I got home I contacted Kodak to fix it. They said "Customer induced damage to the camera voids the warranty" they want $63 + $10.95 + tax to fix it OR I can send it to them and they will take 15% off a new camera if bought from the Kodak store. No thanks, first and last time I'll buy a Kodak camera. It's going to be a nice paperweight.
