This cam is fantastice I bought one for 48GBP including an all weather proof case. Its ideal for the family outings and indoors as well with good light. Its easy to carry around and serves my purpose. It records in both vga and HD mode and the quality is really good crystal clear even when moving as well. However if you are looking for a pro cameral then this is not the one. But at this price I really cant complain
How can you say it looks great in "Optimal Conditions"? Haven't you noticed the heavy screen tearing when you panning occurs? Look at the footage in the beginning of your video (the optimal conditions) and how heavy tearing is affecting it. Nothing lines up, it seems you can see the frames being drawn... When you mode the cam you can see the walls and trees didn't line up in the frame, and you can see that there are 2 or 3 frames drawn at the same time (the train footage shows it too)
I thought I had a deffective unit, but now it's clear that all Zx1's have the same deffect: heavy Screen Tearing when you move the camera! The encoder just isn't fast enough!
"Screen tearing" occurs during video motion, creating a torn look as edges of objects (such as a wall or a tree) fail to line up. Look at wikipedia for more info, it'll become evident. It ruins all footage from this cam.
Stay away from this cam if possible. All video tests in youtube show this deffect. I'm returning mine.
i have the Kodak Zx1, but i just put the videos on my computer and upload to youtube,but the quality sucks. Whats the problem? and theres no HD button on youtube for the video?
Hello Pakoopro! It does take pictures too but it has no flash and its kind of better just to use it as a recording device, I invite you to go on my profile and watch my review of this camera.

the loss in frame rate is due fact the camera is trying to capture images in the dark, all my cams do same thing when in low/dark light levels
