Kodak Zi8 "Pocket Cam" Review... The Best Video Camera?
With dimensions being 4.5 x 0.9 x 2.4 inches and weight of only 3.8 ounces, the Kodak zi8 surely can be stored in a pocket, purse, fanny-pack (do people still wear those?) or child stroller for those candid embarrasing moments that end up on Youtube.
The way you upload your content to your PC or MAC is pretty standard amongst all the "pocket cams" and the zi8 is no different with the USB "pinky". You might ask, "what is this pinky thing he's talking about?" Well, to be blunt, it's the short USB connector attached to the camera and if you have a desktop, it's pretty difficult to attach the damned thing. If you don't have a laptop, make sure you get a USB extension because you might hit your head on the underneath of the desk a million times like I have.
As I have read over tons of reviews, the most popular element that the zi8 has across the board is the mic-in... which I agree. The mic-in sets the camera apart from the older pocket cams and delivers great audio qulaity.
In conclusion, the Kodak zi8 is hands down the best "pocket cam" for your money with all of it's features and convienence.
Be sure to check out my blog, where I write more reviews with pictures and videos on the camera. Here is a post demonstrating the great video and audio quality of this camera.
