Review: Kodak Zi8 pocket HD camcorder
The Kodak Zi8 is notable for shooting 1080p video. Unfortunately, that video isn't terribly good.
Five shooting modes; external microphone input; image stabilization; removable storage and battery
Low framerate from 1080p video; noisy microphone input; image stabilization doesn't help much; terrible zoom
