isitafox Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 Just ordered myself a Kodak ZX1 pocket camcorder, thought it would be perfect for capturing odd bits of footage as its small, can hold lots of memory an records in HD. Just wondering though if anyone else on here has one or knows someone with one and what they thought. Only gettin it cause its £50, was gonna get a proper camcorder like I used to have but found it a pain in the arse to take anywhere with the bag an discs an stuff. Any thoughts??

Bronz Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 I got the Zi8 which was £120 and it's a great little camera, just a few usability issues here and there but easy enough to use and quality is okay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good stuff, thinking its the kind of thing I can always take out with me rather than planning days with ma mates where we're gonna take a camera.

I just bought a camcorder recently and with all the ones i looked at none of them used discs. Most used either memory cards or hard drive and some used both. Settled on a £200 full hd one and it's pretty damn nice for £200. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mat Smith!! Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 Can we see a quality test when you get it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Man Sam Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 I got the Zi8 and is amazing for riding !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted April 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 Yeah will get something posted, not sure on the quality of the riding though!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted April 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 Right I've finally got round to making a vid wih this thing! Will put a link up on the videos forum, the quality is brilliant (the camera, not the riding) for something so small. Hopefully get my mate out to ride with me so we can get some half decent riding filmed but the vid does its job of showing the video quality for anyone thinking of buying one!

Mr Motivator Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 Cant be any good indoors or in dark conditions surely? Not with a lens that tiny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
