The Kodak ZX1 Pocket Video Camera will have a sealed speaker and microphone so a user can record 720p-quality video in rain or snow. (Don't think about totally immersing it in water, however.) It will be priced at $149.95.
The camera will be on display at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) this week in Las Vegas.
The dimensions of the ZX1 will be smaller than their first Pocket HD Camcorder, the Zi6, and it also claims to have improved performance in bright light and in low-light conditions. Along with the overall reduction in size, the screen has also been reduced from a 2.6-inch screen to a 2.2-inch screen; both screens have a 4:3 aspect ratio. The older and larger Zi6 will continue to be sold for $179.95.
The new ZX1 will write HD movies as .mov files using an H.264 codec. These files are compatible for playback in Windows and OS X, though they include video editing software compatible for Windows only. The software is stored on a small amount of internal memory in the camera; video files will be stored to a SDHC card which is expandable up to 32 Gbytes. Direct playback on an HDTV is also possible via the camera's HDMI out.
