The Pitch: The new portable camcorder by Kodak is not only easy to use and includes HD resolution, but is also rugged and water-resistant. Coming into a class with heavy competition, it will try to offer the best features-to-value ratio.

Pros: Although it really is pocket-friendly, the Zx1 packs a 2-inch display that can be used without a magnifying glass, unlike its main rival, the MinoHD. The slot for memory card allows it to store up to 32GB for hours of video, and the HDMI connection makes sure you will really see the high-definition quality when using a TV to watch the videos.

Cons: With no integrated memory, you must buy a memory card separately.

Recommendation: Although it doesn’t offer the larger 1080p resolution, the Kodak Zx1 is a bang-for-the-buck mini camcorder to carry all the time. Do not forget to buy a 4GB or bigger memory card, and you will be able to record hours of videos in every situation, including the rainy days. The Zx1 should move to the next round of the LGS competition.

How it works:

We welcome any and all 'hot' products slated to appear at CES. Our experts screen them. They'll continue to narrow the list until we get to a Top 25 and then a Top 10. We'll also conduct a online vote among the Top 25 to determine a "people's winner." The Top 10 will appear at a CES supersession where a live voting audience will determine which deserves to be the Last Gadget Standing.

When: Saturday, 10:30 a.m., Jan. 9, 2010

Where: Room N255-257, LVCC, North Hall, 2010 International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.
