Kodak Zx1 HD Pocket Video Camera (black)
While its video quality doesn't quite match up to that of the Flip Video MinoHD, the Kodak Zx1 does win points for its stylish, rugged design.

CNET Review
The Good: Relatively rugged, attractive design; captures video at 720p HD resolution; decent video; memory-card expansion slot; runs off AA batteries; bundled HDMI cable; zippier performance.
The Bad: No memory card; batteries don't recharge via USB connector; software isn't Mac compatible; poor connectivity.
The Bottom Line: While its video quality doesn't quite match up to that of the Flip Video MinoHD, the Kodak Zx1 does win points for its stylish, rugged design.

Review Summary: Last year, Kodak was first out the gate with an HD minicamcorder, the Zi6. That model was pretty good and won some fans for its decent video quality and relatively ...

Review Summary: We recently took a look at a new product that has become really popular in the YouTube community called the Flip UltraHD. After my review I was looking into similar products and found out a few other companies make similar products. One of those is the...
The Verdict: Well when comparing the Zx1 against the HDFlip there are many pro’s and con’s. The video I posted above is really the best way to compare. The Zx1’s low light performance leaves a lot to desire. The SD card port is a pain if you don’t have one, but it...

Review Summary: The Zx1 is more compact than most pocket HD camcorders, but its video quality leaves much to be desired.
The Verdict: With its smaller size, the Zx1 (2.0 by 4.2 by 0.8 inches) is a lot more pocketable than the Zi6 (2.5 by 4.5 by 0.9 inches). From a distance, the Zx1 looks like a large mobile phone. Unlike the Zi6’s plastic and rubber body, the Zx1 has a plastic front...

Review Summary: The world of consumer electronics is thick with compromise. It's a sad fact that blows harder than the North Wind, and is getting worse as designers keep trying to load smaller, cheaper devices with piles of high-end features. That's why we went mad...

Review Summary: This is one of two small HD camcorders (mobile phone size) that I am looking at. So as part of my reviews I take some clips at local gigs and then send links to the clips to the musicians, whom I ask which is better and why.
The Verdict: I have previously reviewed a couple of the ‘Flip’ models who both took images at lesser resolution. This is the first pocket camcorder I have reviewed that takes movies in HD. It is 10.5x5.5x2cm and it weights 135grams. It is marketed with a You Tube...

Review Summary: The Kodak Zx1 ($149.95 MSRP) is another entry in the ultra-compact camcorder market. None of these tiny, affordable camcorders offer much in the way of high quality video, but they are easy to use, easy to carry, and easy on the wallet. With the...
The Verdict: Perhaps the best feature of the Zx1 is its durability, with very few moving parts and two rugged covers that protect the USB, HDMI, and SDHC ports. This is a fashion accessory that you can throw in your bag without fear of damage
