1:Kodak Playsport Zx3(price 6500 rs)
The Playsport offers a familiar appearance, now that we’ve seen so many pocket Internet camcorders. Its form factor resembles a regular mobile phone, with the main controls on the rear and a 2in LCD above them. As with a number of recent pocket Internet camcorders, the Playsport incorporates a surprisingly large sensor considering its budget orientation. This is a 1/2.5in CMOS sensor with a healthy 5-megapixels, although the primary benefactor of the full pixel count will be digital photography, which can be performed at resolutions of 3,072 x 1,728 pixels.
Video can be recorded at 1080p Full HD, but there are also 720p and WVGA options as well. The latter uses a resolution of 848 x 480 to provide a widescreen version of VGA. All of these run at 30 frames/sec, but you can also record 720p at 60 frames/sec. Video is captured using H.264 compression and a QuickTime MOV format, at a data rate of just under 13Mbits/sec for the top quality setting, which is reasonable for a camcorder in this class. However, audio is only recorded using AAC LC compression in mono, so you won’t be able to capture a classical music recital in all its glory. Footage is captured to removable SD memory, with SDHC format cards supported, so there’s a 32GB limit on capacity. A card this size would be enough for 5.5 hours of footage at the top quality setting.
