Kodak Zi8 Pocket Video Camera

The Kodak Zi8 pocket video camera is a small, convenient video camera that is easy to operate. I've been looking for a video camera for a couple of years. When I saw this one, I knew it was the one for me.

The integrated image stabilization feature which will keep my images in focus is only one of the reasons I'm getting one. (I have that feature on my regular camera and I love it.)

The Kodak Zi8 HD Pocket Video Camera was released in September and I've already recieved mine. It is better than the hype. It missed my vacation by 1 month it was worth the wait. Check out the features below and see if you don't share my enthusiasm for this little pocket video camera.

Kodak Zi8 Makes it Easy to Stay Focused

Staying Focused Is Easy

The Kodak Zi8 has two 720p video modes, with 30fps and 60fps settings. The 60 frs mode is perfect for capturing moving objects, along with the built in image stabilization. One thing is certain, with the Kodak Zi8, you have a good chance of staying focused, even at those times when you, or your subject, is on the move.

The Kodak Zi8 has plenty of useful features, which help you to create better movies. The ìSmart Faceî tracking detects when a face is close up and adjusts automatically, to ensure the lighting is set correctly. The Kodak also provides a x4 zoom, which is a 100% more than that of the Flip Mino.

Kodak Zi8 Pocket Video Camera Takes Stills Too

The Zi8 takes Still Photos

With the Kodak Zi8 you can even take the most stunning stills with your Kodak Zi8 pocket camcorder because it is capable of taking 16:9 widescreen HD still pictures at 5 Megapixel resolution.

Comparison Between the Kodak Zi8 and the Flip UltraHD

Zi8 is the winner

In a comparison between the Kodak Zi8 and the Flip UltraHD, the Zi8 wins hands down. Here are just 3 of the reasons the Zi8 wins:

1. The price of the two pocket video cameras are about the same. But the Zi8 beats all of the Flip-class cameras in low light which the Flips have problems with.

2. The Flip Ultra HD also only shoots at 720p whereas the Zi8 shoots at 1080p.

3. And, I've already mentioned earlier about the electronic image stabilizer. Wow, now that's what I'm talking about. I have that on my Olympus SP-560UZ 8MP Digital Camera and love, love, love it.

    It's an awesome little HD video camera. I carry it in my pocket everywhere I go. I created a few articles on it at my website, including one with sample video footage.

    I own this camera. I like it very much. It slips into my shirt pocket, takes excellent video and good (but not great) still shots. I particularly like having the ability to take video in a good variety of resolutions and can take a quick photo without also having to carry around a camera.
    The only negative I can give this camera is that the lens is unprotected. Some sort of a lens cap or automatic cover would be nice. But this knock applies to most other pocket camcorders as well.
