This is what one happy owner had to say about the kodak Zx1 HD:

“To put it simple, you won’t find anything better at this price. The camera itself feels sturdy and hard with a nice brushed texture, due to this you will be able to give it a few bashes if you are filming in a rough situation (i.e. biking). The ports are all covered with a rubber flap which is a nice feature as you won’t get any dirt in there and protects it from water…” (Arthur “S”)
