Here is a quick informal video review of the new Kodak Zx1 HD video recorder. I have used for videos here on Figital Revolution everything from a Canon G9 to the Vado HD and now the Kodak Zx1. I find devices like these are great not only for the obligatory family videos but also for use in documenting your photography… think of it like a video journal.
As I said in the video this is not the perfect pocket video recorder (I’m still looking) but for my works/ travels the weather seals, extra durability and 60 frames per second make it a good choice and at the retail price of $149 it is hard to beat.
NOTE: If you want to watch the video full screen be sure to turn the HD mode on (upper right corner of the video box)- for smaller play I find the standard resolution (HD OFF) is perfect.
As promised here is a link to a bigger review of the Kodak Zx1.

Is there a tripod socket on this video camera?
yes…
Hi there. I was hoping you could help. When recording should the date display. When I attempted to transfer the video via the A/V out again the date did not display. As an investigator i require the date to display.
what am i doing wrong??

This is going to sound lame but contact support at kodak as I don’t have the answer….
hi.
just a short question for the expert:
do you think that the sound-noise-level in this nonsense-test-clip is fine?

i’m wondering if my zx1 microphone is alright…
thank you and best regards
Sounds about right to me but of course it can be mostly eliminated using some additional software for editing…
thank you!
i know about ways to mostly eliminate it afterwards but i thought the recorder might have a better out-of-the-box-sound.
but if it sounds right to you i guess it’s fine…
thanks again.
