    With the inbuilt memory (128Mb) you will only get a couple of minutes recording at high definition.

    I have the click myself, and the batteries last at least 2 hours on a full charge.

    You really need to order one (or more) of the memory cards. 8Gb, they say, gives you about 2 hours of recording at high definition, so unless you have access to a computer to copy the memory card to, you will need more than one, if you want to record more than 2 hours.

    Got a flip mino hd for £40 recently and its pretty nifty - however only one hour rec time at one (HD) resolution. I'm thinking of getting the zx1 because it takes sd cards and recharge-able AA's -and it will rec. at lower av standard to get more footage onto sd card.

    Thanks, nice of you to take the time to explain. So really I need a couple of sets of batteries and memory cards. Do have a computer and also a Panasonic HDV DVD Player which I beleive takes memory cards.
    I see its possoble to use any memory cards, not just the Kodak ones?

    True about being able to convert but I would have thought alot of people who want this kind of thing (as in easy and simple to use) wouldn't want to have to do that.

    Also, I bought a memory card off eBay which was a higher class than my old one and it wouldn't record video for more than 4 seconds. Works fine for taking pics or in other devices though??
    If my words are missing letters then please excuse me....my keyboard is a tad dodgy!!

    Just ordered a zx1 from Kodak did it come with the latest firmware installed, anyone who has just received one?

    As not looking forward to updating if needed as these things always go wrong for me!
