Kodak Playfull ZE2 review

A low-risk option for water-based stills or video

Easy to use, even with gloves ; Affordable watersports camera

1MP still images lack detail ; Digital zoom degrades image

Kodak Playfull ZE1 review

A camcorder aimed at a young, fashion-conscious user, the Kodak Playfull ZE1 comes in a choice of black or silver with blue, orange or purple detailing around the lens.

We liked the look of this camcorder, and its multitude of sharing options. The lightweight feel and price suggest that it is for a younger market. Bad image quality in low light conditions, limited internal memory and a small screen let down the...

Great bit of kit

Purchased this to replace a flip camera that got lost. This is a bit smaller than the flip camera but pretty much does all the same things but it's a lot cheaper. I did not read the product spec very well and assumed it came with large built in memory...

Kodak Playfull ZE1

This is small & very easy to use, ideal for teenagers.

The image quality on the screen is average but that is probably because it's small. However this has no impact on the image you get on a lager screen-that's very good. Doesn't come with any form of memory card, so make sure you get one straight away...

Kodak Playfull ZE1

Side compartments are a bit fiddly to gain access, small screen but it is a small camcorder so dont expect a huge screen.
