Kodak PlayTouch review

The PlayTouch might sound like a lewd product from a chemist, but it's actually Kodak's latest pocket camera. The sleek black body houses just one button, which handles the recording. All the other options are located on the 3-inch touchscreen. This is the most expensive camera in our test (due to the touchscreen interface), but it packs in the features for your cash. It offers 1080p recording, 5MP still photos and image stabilisation – which its predecessor lacked. Like Sony with its Bloggie, Kodak has made a curious choice about the use of its display for viewfinding. the real estate offered is a measly post box-shaped rectangle in the middle, making it difficult to see what you're doing. That said, the menu on the touchscreen is excellent, and the capacitive screen is responsive. Kodak should be applauded for putting every command within easy reach. You can set everything from output resolution to cheesy video effects, and are never left wondering how to change a setting quickly. The Kodak also impressed us with the way it handled light, being quick to adjust itself when going from dark to bright. It also focused on faces – technology brought over from the compact camera range and used to good effect.

Camcorder Reviews

The PlaySport has barely had time to get its feet wet but Kodak has already come up with a replacement pocket camcorder! Although it's not waterproof, the PlayTouch it has plenty of interesting new features that should please users looking for a functional camcorder for under £200. The PlayTouch looks and handles more like a smartphone than a classic camcorder. It has an impressive 3-inch LCD that can be used horizontally in playback mode for more comfortable viewing. This may not be anything new in the world of smartphones but it's the first time we've seen it in a pocket camcorder. The screen is also now entirely touch-sensitive, but it can take a little getting used to as there's a slight lag between what you press and what the camera does. Once you get the hang of it you'll find it works quite well, and you can scroll through your video collection by sweeping a finger across the screen like on an iPhone. The only physical buttons are the on/off button and the record button. To play back clips, zoom in on a photo or adjust settings in the menu, you have to use the touchscreen.

Kodak Playtouch Video Camera

The Playtouch ($229.95 direct) is Kodak's new top-of-the-line HD pocket camcorder, and its first model to feature a touch screen. A full $50 more than the Kodak Zi8 ($179.95, 4 stars), the price is on the high side, but Kodak throws in plenty of features for your money. Besides touch-screen controls, you get adjustable video capture up to 1080p, 5-megapixel still image capture, macro focus, video effects, a microphone input, and even an HDMI cable. Sounds great, right? The only problem is that video quality is just average - the new Cisco Flip UltraHD's ($199.99, 3.5 stars) lower-resolution 720p60 video looks much better than anything the Playtouch can produce. At 4.16 ounces, the Playtouch is about the same weight as its competitors, but at 4.3-by-2.3-by-0.6 inches (HWD), it's much thinner than the Flip UltraHD. The Playtouch comes in black, orange, blue, or chrome; the sides of the camcorder feel rubbery, but the back and front are glossy and elegant looking. There's an SD card slot on the right panel that accepts up to 32GB cards (you only get 128MB of internal storage); an HDMI out to connect the camera to your HDTV is located on the left side of the camera (and an HDMI cable is included).
