 Favorite Video Camera!, June 11, 2009
This is my third flash memory video recorder and it has become my favorite. I mainly post videos to You Tube and Facebook and for this purpose the Kodak Zi6 is perfect! I like the size of it, the large viewing screen, the simple controls and the AA batteries it uses. I find the quality to be superb. Really, it is!
But be aware that you need a fairly powerful computer to edit and process the raw (MOV) video files that come out of the Zi6. If your computer is more than a year old then you might be frustrated at how choppy the videos play back. And editing could be just about impossible. But this is not the fault of the Zi6, it's just the nature of processing 720p videos. You're crunching a ton of data every second and that requires CPU horsepower.
The Kodak Zi6 is small enough to fit in your pocket though not as small as its competitors. Still, I find it small enough to carry around most days. The battery life seems to be very good and it's nice to know that if I ever catch myself out of battery power I can simply buy some AA batteries and pop them in. But you'll want to use the rechargeables most of the time.
Yes, this is a basic camera. But it does the basics very, very well. And for the money, you just can't do better, in my opinion. What a drastic improvement over the Kodak MC3 from years ago!
