I use it to video my kids and is very easy to tote around with you, and easy to use. It is MAC compatible (iMovie). Perfect for the price I paid.

Comments about Kodak Zx1 Pocket Video Camera (Blue):
ZX1 is easy to use and navigate, very good quality outdoors during day light. Have used it at my sons basketball game and it wasn't that bad. Need good lighting when in the house taking video of my grandson. I don't take pictures with it I have a digital SLR camera. Wish it had a wider lenses shot. Sometimes I have to back up to get someone in a picture if we are in a small room. My daugher likes to borrow it to take pictures of her son when they go places, she loves the size of it.

We use it to record our travels and activities.
It is very compact and easy to carry, fast to operate, and unobtrusive. Uploading video is easy. The quality is better than we expected.
I'm an older guy, and I need to put on my readers to interpret the icons on the otherwise big enough display. I wish the icons were easier to read.

Great for beginning video students. Middle school to early high school. Also, great for teachers to take video in class for class reflections or lesson documenting. Shoots Final Cut ready video that drag/drops into the browser /timeline but audio will need a render. Camera comes with AA rechargeable batteries. Video and audio quality are not great,but will do for certain projects.

Comments about Kodak Zx1 Pocket Video Camera (Blue):
I own several large MiniDV cameras, but needed something small to use at a minute's notice, be it at home or the office. So far, it's been used at home with the grandchildren with excellent results due to it's small size. They don't notice they're being filmed.
