Compact Palm Camcorders

The Kodak Playfull Video Camera Makes for Handy Recording

— August 12, 2011 — Tech
While many digital cameras come with the ability to capture moving pictures, they're seldom optimized to do so. The Kodak Playfull video camera is the size of a standard point-and-shoot, but it's packed with the capabilities for recording high quality films.

Different from mainstream camcorder designs, this one by Chad Paris sheds the bulk and provides users with a light and slim lensed device. It can be held effortlessly between to fingers. Capturing videos thus does not require support from the whole of your hand, and minimizes the need for a second one at all. A thumbnail display gives the user a sample of the scene being documented, and a selection of buttons in the center of the Kodak Playfull video camera allows you to grip it comfortably at the base.
Trend Themes
1. Compact Camcorders - The trend of compact camcorders provides an opportunity for companies to create smaller, more portable devices for recording high-quality videos.

3. Lightweight Camcorders - The trend of lightweight camcorders creates a market for companies to design slim and easy-to-hold devices for capturing videos with minimal effort.
Industry Implications

2. Camera Manufacturing - The camera manufacturing industry can seize the opportunity of optimizing digital cameras for video recording by creating models with enhanced video capabilities.
3. Technology Accessories - The technology accessories industry can benefit from the trend of lightweight camcorders by producing accessories that make it even easier to carry and use these devices.
