📸 Capture Your Moments with the Kodak PlayTouch Video Camera in Vibrant Orange Review

Combine this with an Audio-Technica ATR-3350 (about $20) and a Kodak remote ($10) and you have a complete video recording studio that fits in your pocket. HD is the format that YouTube loves at the moment and the long microphone cable allows you to get high quality audio along with HD video. This microphone has a switch and a tiny (regular) battery. The only downside I've found is that the battery cover creaks when you squeeze the camera, affecting your recording. I narrowed down the problem…

Beautiful product. The lack of optical zoom means the picture gets worse (grainier) the more you zoom in. Picture quality outside ok, no zoom in full sun and picture quality again. Video. The lack of an optical zoom means that the more you zoom in, the worse the picture gets. 1080p @ 30fps is the best choice for a good video. 720p at 60 fps is fine, but the video looks too sharp, creating an undesirable look when the image shifts and loses sharpness. 720p @ 30fps All hard lines like lines on…

worth updating. I have 2 Zi8, Flip HD and now Zi10. Here's what's better than the Zi8: - It's a lot smaller and lighter, I'm really surprised that the reviews here on Revain put more emphasis on it. If you want to carry this thing in your pocket, the smaller size and lighter weight compared to the Zi8 are very noticeable. It's just as good, if not better. The low-light capabilities seem a bit better to me, but I haven't done a technical comparison, it's just anecdotal at this point. User…

As the black one is selling for a hundred bucks right now this is a great value. When you get it home, be sure to visit the Kodak website and download the latest firmware. It's a two-step process where you have to update it to a mid-range firmware update and then update the update. It is not possible to switch from the stock firmware to the current firmware without an intermediate step. So if you browse Kodak's site, make sure you find one that says "below" a certain number and one that says…

New to the camcorder life but aspiring to get serious, I was looking for an entry-level camcorder to learn and practice the technique with , before I ventured the long haul, dear workhorse. After several hours of searching, I found it easy to sell the Play Touch because it was the only device in its class with an external microphone port. I hate putting up with clips that have horrible sound quality so much and I don't want to force this on my audience. However, built-in mics with their echo…

I wanted an easy to carry, reasonably priced 1080p HD camcorder to replace my aging Flip Ultra camcorder - white 4GB 2hrs (2nd Generation)) that has served me well good, but only records in 720p and doesn't have an external mic jack. This camera caught my attention after reading reviews of the Kodak Zi8 pocket camcorder - Black mentioned that it was a smaller camera but still had microphone jacks - a rarity for this type of camcorder. Why use an external microphone? Well, if the audio you get…
