Kodak Zi6 Review

Although this gadget is quite old I thought I would give it a quick review just for AGeniusBlog

So at the moment you can buy these handy little HD camcorders for $159.95USD on the Kodak online store. The camera is quite handy although a tiny bit bulky it packs a lot of punch. It records on HD format 720p at 60 fps with 16:9 aspect ratio in MP4 format which allows you to import it into most movie editors (I personally used Camtasia for it) or use the bundled CD software to edit. It has some built in memory but memory is easily expandable with up to a 32GB SD card able to be added into it allowing it to store all your favourite memorys and change memory cards if you want to continue recording on the go.

The camera records in 3 different video functions being HD at 60 fps, HD at 30 fps, or VGA. Allowing you to change the quality and speed for specific needs. It also allows you to switch into Photo mode allowing you to take 3MP photos using the camera.

It is quite easy to use, is on in seconds after to sliding the power switch and your on your way.  Even though the files were a bit bulky because of the HD formatting it was well worth it with the camera outputting great quality videos, the only downside as other reviews have mentioned is this buzzy noise that you can hear quietly in videos for some reason and also that the camera is very shakey at times unless you are using a tripod.

I have had to oppourtunity to use both this camera and the Flip Mino HD. In comparasion I cannot see much difference between the video but prefer the Kodak Zi6 because of its larger screen and expandable memory. Although looking at the flips which are now coming in larger sizes then previous and are now available in New Zealand I may be speaking too early.

HD Camera users, whats your opinion?
