  • Abstract:  Both of these affordable cameras hit the market with a solid splash and will satisfy buyers looking for cheap and portable solutions. The Flip is ideal for amateurs and college students on a budget. The Zi8 is exceptional for those..

  • Replaceable battery, 1080p, included cables and charger, and SDHC support make the Zi8 king.
  • Slightly bulky; audio is not sensitive; UI is slightly confusing.

  • The Zi8 ($199 MSRP) definitely represents an improvement for Kodak, but the camcorder was a disappointment overall. Even with its larger sensor, increased pixel count, and Full HD video recording, the Zi8 managed a lackluster performance in most of ou...

  • True 1080p video resolution, Superior image quality, Electronic image stabilization (EIS), External microphone input, Accepts inexpensive SD cards up to 32GB, Easy to use, Flexible built-in USB arm
  • Larger than competitors, EIS can't smooth all jitters, Lukewarm ArcSoft software package
  • Full 1080p resolution, image stabilization and extras like an external microphone jack make Kodak’s Zi8 the most potent mini HD camcorder available today....

  • Abstract:  The Kodak Zi8 is an impressive solution for someone who wants to capture priceless memories and goofy moments without busting their holiday budget. Consumers can spend less than $200 on this pocket HD camcorder and capture 1080p HD footage that’s proba...

  • Abstract:  Video Review: The new Kodak Zi8 is the first in the line of Gadget Pr0n reviews on pocket cameras. Find out from Chris Hardwick and Felicia Day if this super thin camera that records 1080p video with built-in image stabilization and face detection is w...

  • Uses removable SDHC memory cards. Removable, rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery. Four shooting modes. 1080p top resolution. Image stabilization. External microphone jack. Includes composite and HDMI cables.
  • Bundled software isn't Mac compatible. Some video noise. Digital zoom only.
  • The Zi8 offers convenient flexibility and produces good-looking HD videos in an affordable package no bigger than a typical point-and-shoot. It definitely gives the Flip MinoHD (4 stars, Mar/09) a run for its money.Zi8...

  • At $180, the Kodak Zi8 is up against lots of competition from things like the Flip, the iPod nano, and even point and shoot cameras with HD video. However, the Kodak Zi8 has a great feature set for a quick point and shoot HD video camera - it is a gre...
