Our Verdict

KODAK LUMA 350

LG CineBeam PF50KA

The KODAK LUMA 350 and LG CineBeam PF50KA are about equally good, although the KODAK is significantly smaller; it's so small you can put it in your pocket. The LG is otherwise extremely portable, but not to the point of being pocketable. Regarding image quality, the two projectors are quite bad, so ultimately, the KODAK has a slight edge due to its size.
