Kodak Zi6 (black) review

By David Carnoy (cnet.com)

Solid 720p video ; comparatively large LCD ; memory-card expansion slot ; AA rechargeable batteries included along with protective carrying case and video output cables

Insufficient onboard memory and price doesn't include an optional memory card ; can't recharge batteries via USB connector ; included software isn't Mac compatible

While bigger than most of its competitors and high priced for a mini camcorder, the Kodak Zi6's attractive design and decent video quality adequately compensate for some usability drawbacks.

Like many inexpensive competitors, the Kodak Zi6 is technically an HD...

Kodak ZI6 Pocket Video Camera

By Tim Moynihan (pcworld.com)

For a pocket camcorder, Kodak's Zi6 Pocket Video Camera ($180 as of 3/23/2009) has a ton of features and shoots video with surprisingly bright colors. It won't replace your full-sized camcorder or even rival such a camcorder's feature set, but it does ...

Frame-rate options and vivid footage ; Removable, expandable storage

Colors look a bit blown out ; Focus quality can be spotty

At $180, it's $50 cheaper than Pure Digital's Flip Mino HD, which makes it a smart buy. Just be sure to factor in the cost of a high-capacity SDHC card if you don't have one already, and don't rule out the Flip Mino HD if you want a more cinematic ...

To see how footage captured with the Kodak Zi6 compares to other HD pocket...

Review: Kodak Zi6 HD mini camcorder

By Christopher Breen (macworld.com)

The mini camcorder market is heating up. Kodak's new HD-capable device is an impressive offering and is a definite contender amongst camcorders such as Pure Digital's Flip Ultra and Flip Mino.

720p video ; larger LCD than the competition ; removable storage ; uses replaceable batteries ; saves capture in natively Mac-compatible format

No image stabilization, making camera shake likely ; included software is Windows-only ; low-light results not great

Like the Flip camcorders, the Zi6 includes a built-in USB connector. Just press a button on the front of the camera and out pops the connector. Its 2x zoom lens lets you zoom like you can with a Flip, but the Zi6 also includes a Macro switch that, ...

"A very good camera!"

By Paco_Phreak (cnet.com)

As i said before i recommend this cam . 

Hello i own this cam one week ago and can say it,s a very good camera.It loves light, sunshine . image attaching my Sony Bravia 26" is very very good you can believe me. Even SD VGA shots are also good. I highly recommend this cam to everybody.

Not very good at low light levels.Warning: when i say SD VGA is good it,s attaching a pixel plus Philips 30" tube not my 26" flat BRAVIA.
