Abstract: The world of consumer electronics is thick with compromise. It's a sad fact that blows harder than the north wind, and is getting worse as designers keep trying to load smaller, cheaper devices with piles of high-end features. That's why we went mad ov...
Abstract: The Kodak Zx1 is a more robust than many of its rivals, capable of withstanding harsher weather conditions. We didn’t test its ice-resistant claims but we did try out its video capabilities. Like the other models, it has 2in LCD screen, records in 720p...
