In this video I review and compare the Kodak PlayTouch against the Sony Bloggie Touch to see which makes the best YouTube camcorder or camera.

The Kodak PlayTouch features 1080p video at 30 frame per second or 720p footage at 30 FPS and 60 FPS as well as 5 megapixel still images. It comes with a wide range of accessories including a Mini HDMI cable, RCA A/V cable, MicroUSB cable, AC adapter, lanyard, carrying pouch and battery.

The Sony Bloggie Touch also sports full 1920×1080 video at 30 FPS and 1280×720 video at 30 or 60 FPS while having a 12 megapixel still photo mode. In the box you find the camera, a female to male USB cable and a lanyard.

I go over each camcorder in detail including build quality, video quality samples, touchscreens, user interface (UI) and the menu system, autofocus, ergonomics and price.
