Review on Kodak PlayTouch Video Camera (Silver) by David Pullen

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good camera for what you get

I'll be making some YouTube videos and wanted something with an external mic connection that wouldn't break the bank. It filled that need until I realized I needed a camera with a tilting screen. I have since bought a Canon Vixia HF-R400 and this will be my main camera. However, in terms of usability, the camera is great. It has a nice touchscreen display that turns on and off instantly (better than my Flip Mino HD). I like that it has removable storage. As an external microphone, I use an Audio Technica ATR 3350 Lavalier Omnidirectional Condenser Microphone. It's really great with the R400, but not so much with the Playtouch. I'll figure out how to make more of it. However, the built-in microphone is just great. Dress very well. I also love that the Playtouch comes with a mini HDMI to full HDMI cable. My Canon does that too, but it's rare to find one bundled with a consumer camera. Again I got it a bit cheaper than the black one (which I prefer) but that's not a problem as nobody will see it. you are in it

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • I'll be silent
