    KODAK PLAYFULL Ze1 Review | 2011-04-29

    "Don’t call the pocket video camera dead just yet. Despite an abundance of devices that will get similar results and companies with similar offerings, Kodak’s PLAYFULL (camera) rises above the pack with smart design, outstanding video quality and a price that’s downright reasonable."
