| Product Tour Summary | ||||
 • Small, fixed lens offers little in the way of versatility• 1/4.5-inch CMOS sensor is status quo for this class of camcorders • The slender, curvaceous body design looks sharp and feels good in the hand • Comes in five colours: pink, red, blue, yellow, and black |

Introduction | (Page 2 of 17) | Colour & Noise Performance |  |
 |
| The small fixed lens gets the job done. |
The Kodak Zx1, like competing ultra compact camcorders, has a fixed lens. That means that there are no moving lens elements for adjusting focus, aperture, or optical zoom. It's hard to fit much into such a small camcorder body anyway, so settling for a fixed lens means that these ultra-compacts also remain affordable. The sensor and lens are nearly identical to what you'll find in the Pure Digital Flip MinoHD and most other similar camcorders.
