Kodak PlayTouch Review Discussion

[Jamison Cush]

For my money, the Kodak Zi8 belongs in the pocket camcorder hall of fame, and until I reviewed the Sony Bloggie Touch, I thought it was the best pocket camcorder around. So I'm heartened to see Kodak continue the line, first with the waterproof PlaySport, which I also gave high marks, and now with the Kodak PlayTouch, a slim touch-based successor to the Zi8.

Sony showed us how touch should be done in a pocket camcorder, can Kodak also teach us a few tricks? Read the Kodak PlayTouch review to find out.

Hi; you did not indicate if the camera would give stereo sound if a stereo mic was put into the mic jack.

What suprised me was the still photos that looked better than what alot of cameras are shooting. They looked quite sharp with great color balance.

I reviewed the Kodak M590, a still camera, a couple of months ago for this website. While I found the camera to have certain problems, image quality was not among them.

Ahhh, great question and big oversight on my part. The on-board mic shoots mono, but an external mic can shoot stereo.
