Well you know, if Steve Jobs has the kahunas to get up on stage and flog his iPad, the least I can do is a cheesy video about a “YouTube Cam.”
Since my blog about the Flip MinoHD, I’ve had a bunch of requests about a pocketable, good quality HD camcorder, and I came across a couple of these Kodak Zx1’s last week. So I thought, a quick review and make ‘em available on eBay.
You’ll enjoy one of these great cameras, which sport quite a few better features than the Flip. E.g:
- Still photo (3MPx)
- Replaceable, rechargeable battery – these ones have both the Kodak Li-ion & a couple of Kodak AA’s + 2 chargers;
- Expandable memory with SDHC card - Great for when you won’t have a computer around, like if you’re camping, or travelling
- Shoots in 720-60p – Really crisp played directly on your HD TV
- HDMI Out – No computer needed for quick replay
- DC In – Great for conferences or long shoots
- Did I mention water resistant? – well splash & (light) rain proof anyway
It’s certainly not the best video I’ve made, but it does the job. Shot mainly on the Flip, with a couple of scenes on the Zx1 itself.
As you can see, the Zx1 shoots great video, which you’ll find easy to shoot, edit, and share on your site. If you’re interested, whether you buy one or not, I’d be happy to work with you to discuss the basics of video, especially wrt to online video.
You can check out the first Kodak Zx1 I’m listing at 25% less than retail (including the extra batteries & chargers) here: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290396857649&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT#ht_2286wt_1313
Note, these will be online for only 3 days.
