| The Bottom Line | With the Zi8, Kodak finally surpasses Flip Video's video quality and feature set. | The Kodak Playsport is an excellent minicamcorder that can take some rough treatment and capture solid HD video. | The rugged Kodak PlaySport Zx5 is a very good minicamcorder, but falls just shy of improving on last year's model, despite being more durable. | Typical for their price class, the no-frills Sony Handycam HDR-CX130, CX160, and XR160 produce generally subpar HD video, but if you're not picky you'll probably be fine. The CX130 is the best buy of the three, as long as you go cheap on the memory card. | Mediocre video quality and a couple design issues keep the Kodak PlayTouch from being a top-notch minicamcorder. |
