Hello everybody. Welcome back to ComputerTV.
I'm Sam. And today I'm going to tell you
all about these new Kodak Zx1 Pocketcams.
Now these things, rock. First of all,
they are rugged, OK?
So that means they are weather proof.
You can take them in the rain. You can take them in the snow.
How about a little dirt? How about a little sand?
I mean, these pocket cams are really made
to go everywhere. And the best thing is
that you can shoot 720p HD quality movies with this little device. OK?
You would never know it, but you can. OK?
This camera absolutely rocks.
You can shoot awesome movies wherever you go.
Whether you're traveling, whatever you're doing,
you can be sure to take this, weatherproof, Kodak with you.
OK, so let's take a tour. I'm going to show you all
around this Kodak. And tell you what it does. OK?
So turning over, again, right here, this is your 4.1mm lens,
with a 2x optical zoom.
Turning over, right here, where this finger is, you've got your power.
You have your HDMI port, so you can hook up to an HDTV.
Watch all your HD movies.
You have your USB port right here. And right here is your power, OK?
Now we're going to go onto the other side.
And right here, this is your card slot.
This is for your SD or your SDHC card.
Now this camera only has 128 MB of storage built in, OK?
So when you're shooting HD quality movies,
it's really not that much.
You really, really, got to get one of those, 8 GB or even a 16 GB SD card, OK?
So, back to the front, I'm going to take this cover off.
And you will see, you have two AA rechargeable batteries
that come with this Kodak.
Now, the best thing is, that you can also just take any old AA batteries
and use them as well. If you forget to recharge.
Now, Kodak is saying that with the rechargeable batteries
you're going to get 12 hours of battery life, when they're fully charged.
So that is a lot.
That should last you a really, really long time.
I'm going to power on right now.
Like so.
And you'll see. This is a two inch LCD screen.
Come on!
And it's so easy to take videos with this thing.
OK, first of all, to go from the camera to playback
you just use these buttons.
So right now we are in camera mode,
and here is playback mode.
You'll see I took some video of Betty earlier.
So let's... play that.
And to stop again, you just hit the red button.
So really, when you're in camera mode
to record you start pushing... You just start by pushing
this red record button.
Like so.
Like so.
Oh, you know why it's not recording?
Because we don't have an SD card.
We completely ran out of storage with that one video.
So again, another important reason to get an SD card.
Now, to zoom in and out
you just use these controls up here.
There you go.
OK, that's your zoom. Alright?
Now, if you click right here
it will take you to your video.
And you can choose whether you want to delete it or not.
We don't want to delete it.
So let's get out of there.
And last, but not least, when you're in playback mode
and you're playing a movie... Here, let's click on here.
The movie place to stop it.... Here you go.
You got your stop button right there.
And these are all rubberized, OK?
So if the camera gets a little rain on it
you don't have to worry.
You're not going to slip around.
You're going to be able to use these controls.
No problem at all. And, in fact,
all of the ports are rubberized.
You have this rubberized protective door.
And when I open it, like so, you'll see.
It's pretty thick! OK?
Your ports will be OK when you're taking this thing in the sand and in the dirt.
Now, the coolest thing, or one of the coolest things, is that this camera
comes with.... an HDMI cable.
So you can you easily hook up to your HDTV.
You don't have to go out and buy a cable.
These things can pretty expensive.
Now, you may be thinking, "OK, what about those little
USB connectors that popped out of the older models?"
This new model does not have that.
But it does come with an HDMI cable.
So, you've got to pick your battles.
Now, if this girly, interchangeable face plate isn't working for you.
Cause I must admit, it is kind of girly, and you still like pinkish, redish
on your cameras. It comes with an interchangeable
face plate as well. So you don't have to have this girly design,
if you don't want to.
And we got a lot of colors to choose from.
This is my favorite, of course, because it's hot pink.
But you also have black, OK?
And you have blue too.
So you have a lot of different options to choose from.
So again, this is the Kodak. This is the Zx1 Pocketcam.
Definitely check this out.
If you want to take badass HD 720p movies, this is for you.
Alright, I'm Sam.
Thank you guys so much for watching.
And we'll see you next time.
