Who says you need a big shoulder mounted camera to record HD movies? Not Kodak. Their Zx1 pocket video camera can record 720p video at 60 frames per second in a true 16:9 widescreen format. It has 128MB of on board memory, and you can use SD/SDHC cards of up to 32GB for hours of high quality video.

When you're done recording, you can plug the Zx1 directly into a computer with the included USB cable. Or, you can insert the memory card and keep shooting on the internal memory while the video is downloading from the card.

The Zx1 uses 2 AA batteries and also works with CRV3 lithium batteries or KLIC-8000 battery. Various battery options mean you never have to miss a moment. It's your world; record it with the Zx1.

Nice little camera

Reviewed By: Kevin on 8/28/2009

Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: -Great color
-small size
-quick startup time
-Smooth videos in 720p at 30 and 60fps
-Surprisingly good photo quality

Cons: -slight slowdown with low indoor light
-microphone could be better
-included software is not very robust

Other Thoughts: Make sure you buy an SDHC card fast enough to keep up with the camera. I originally bought a Class 6(6mb/sec) 16gb card which would randomly stop recording because it couldn't keep up. I switched to a Class 4(15mb/sec) 16gb card and its perfect.

Excellent HD Video Camera

Reviewed By: The Boss on 9/21/2009

Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year

Pros: I love this little pocket video camera, it comes in very handy at times. Can caputre within seconds.
It supports SD and SDHC cards up to 32GB, you will need to upgrade the firmware that can be downloaded free from the Kodak site. The firmware upgrade is for 32GB support.
With 720p at 30fps and 60fps it look perfect on a HDTV.
It includes HDMI, A/V and USB cables.
The picture quality is not bad either, for some quick picture shots its not bad, but I would rather use my phone as it has better quality.
Theres a reviewer on here said that its not for Windows, I don't see why it wont be, I only use Windows and I have no problem with it. The video files is in QuickTime (MOV) format, works fine on Windows XP.
This camera I would say its good for the fun of it, not for real videograhers.
The software is also not bad, joining the videos is pretty good with the software.

Cons: - Not that great in low light, theres lots of cameras though also don't look great in low light anyways.
- Would have been great if it came with a built in or clip on light. (I might buy a light or something and try it).
- The microphone should have been better though.

Other Thoughts: - I recommend using class 4 SDHC cards.
- 16GB or 32GB (as the files become pretty large)
- Also best to have more then one card.
- More then one set of batteries would be good too.

Get 2500mAH Rechargeables !

Reviewed By: WinCrazy on 9/7/2009

Tech Level: high - Ownership: less than 1 day

Pros: Do yourself a huge favor and buy 4# of 2500mAH NiMH AA batteries and a charger (MAHA-PowerEx, LaCrosse or Panasonic brands). Make sure the charger will charge any combination of 1 to 4 AA and AAA size batteries.

Cons: Stay away from the KLIC-8000 Li-Ion types of rechargeable batteries because the manufacturers (Kodak, too) *won't tell you the power capacity* of their batteries. NiMH type batteries have a proven track record of long and reliable use. Keep far away from Energizer and Duracell brand batteries and their chargers.

Other Thoughts: Don't use any charger mode that promises to charge *any* battery in less than 2 hours. This fast of a charge will surely destroy your batteries in a relatively low number of recharges. For devices like cameras that people tend to let sit on a shelf for months at a time then get used heavily (birthday parties and such), you might consider getting the Acculoop/Imedion/Eneloop types of "low (self-) discharge" batteries. These newer NiMH battery types have about 80% of the charge capacity of the standard NiMH batteries, but will "self-discharge" very little when not being used for very long times (many months).
