Kodak Zi8 HD Pocket Video Camera (Black) Reviews
Significant improvement over zi6
Since I already own a Kodak zi6, I will restrict my review to comparison between Kodak zi8 and zi6. Overall, I feel that zi8 is a significant improvement over the previous model. The video quality is definitely better than zi6 in all conditions, whether outside in bright sunlight or indoors in low light. The firmware is superior giving a more user friendly interface and buttons layout is much nicer. Unlike zi6 where setting menus was hidden, this time you get direct access to settings including controlling the screen brightness, altering mic sensitivity, turning image stabilization on/off and enabling/disabling face recognition.
Zi8
I bought this video camera to take to Paris, France with me. I did thorough research on all small video cameras. I wanted one that was easy to use, had image stabilization, portable, and compatible with a Mac. I looked at Sanyo, Canon, Panasonic, and Kodak. At the last minute I found an article in MacWorld about Kodak’s Zi8. I generally do not like to buy electronics when they first are released on the market; too many kinks to work out. However, time was of the essence in my case, so I purchased the Kodak Zi8. I have never owened a video camera; however, I have had a lot of fun playing with it. It is very easy to use. The controls and menus are straight-forward. I was able to download the videos to YouTube as well as my Mac. iMovie took it right in and was able to play the video back. One of the other reviews talked about a problem with their microphone, but so far I have not experienced the same. So far I love my new toy and can’t wait to take it to Paris.
