Kodak Mini Camcorder Reviews 2010

Earlier this year we had seemingly every major manufacturer of HD camcorders introduce new models of camcorder to a hungry public.

Most of these camcorders seemed to concentrate on giving us 1080 resolution, face recognition, pre-record, and auto-everything, but at a price. For one of these babies you pay anywhere between $500 to $900, so the public demand was for cheaper models but with most of these features kept on board.

The major brand manufacturers seemed to have listened to what we were crying out for, and are now releasing pocket-sized waterproof mini camcorders, and they cannot make them fast enough.

The Kodak Mini Camcorder is just one of these new brand of mini pocket camcorder models, with great specifications such as easy uploading to the video hosting sites which seems to be the first requirement of these mini pocket camcorder models.

Don't be fooled by it's small size, similar to a credit card, and light weight. This Kodak Mini Camcorder packs a few punches in such a tiny frame such as being waterproof down to 10 feet, good in low light such as indoors, one button start and a screen size of almost 2 inches.

Plenty of information is displayed on this screen, such as a red dot when recording, battery level, still or video mode, elapsed time and zoom level which is up to 3x. A wrist strap is included for security.

A microSD/SDHC card slot in the Kodak mini video camera allows up to 16GB of recording time which is 4 hours at VGA 30fps. Once the card is full, just replace with another card and keep on recording. (The battery lasts up to 85 minutes each charge).

Editing software is supplied with all Kodak mini video camera, so it's easy to review your movies in camera or on the computer with cuts, trims and add effects. Mac user friendly too.

Reviews of the Kodak mini video camera so far have been 5 star, with good reports from parents who have bought for their 12 year olds. At a selling price of about $70, this seems to me to be a no-brainer as a great Christmas present, so check out this mini pocket camcorder now before the prices rise because of seasonal demand.
