'Small.'

'In-camera video effects.'

'The Kodak Playtouch is a pocket-sized, handheld HD camcorder that shoots high-definition videos and captures 5MP stills. '

'The Kodak also impressed us with the way it handled light, being quick to adjust itself when going from dark to bright. '

'Its video output is very impressive for the asking price, with a reliable low-light performance.'

'It's certainly more stylish than the average pocket cam, which tend to have cheap, plastic cases (we're looking at you Sony Bloggie MHS-CM5). '

'Multiple functions.'

'Alternatively with its user friendliness and general approachability it might make an ideal Christmas gift for a “tweenager”.'

'Best Budget Camcorder.'

'And the Picsio FM2 isn’t fussy: it’s Mac and PC compatible. '

'easy-to-use and intuitive interface'

'The 3-inch touchscreen is large enough, both to navigate around using the icons and also for video playback or viewing photos, although it can be quite hard to see if you're out in bright daylight.'

'touch panel operation, improved low-light performance, and new built-in software for easy editing and sharing. '

'Usability is fair, with the large touchscreen offering easy access to the relatively sparse functionality.'

'slim, lightweight design'

'5-megapixel stills'
