Motion
Motion video didn't look fantastic on our tests with the PlayFull Ze1, but the camcorder was able to produce a decently smooth video image with its 1080/30p record mode. The video had too much artifacting and too much blur for us to give it a free pass, however, and the motion looked particularly bad in our rotating pinwheels. We saw color bleeding, some fuzzy blur where straight lines should appear, and lots of trailing.
In addition to the PlayFull's Full HD record mode, the camcorder also has two 720p record modes (one that uses a 60p frame rate and one that uses a 30p rate). The 720/60p mode produced smoother motion in our test, but its video wasn't as crisp and had more artifacting than the 1080p option. More on how we test motion.
