Kodak Zi8 Review HD Camera with Chroma Key test and U2 concert footage
www.MikesGadgetGiveaway.com?kodak-zi8 Kodak Zi8 HD Camera Review Dollar-for-dollar, you just can’t beat Kodak’s new “Flip Killer” camera. Watch the video review and comment! The Great Under 5 External microphone input PC and Mac compatible True HD high-definition: 1080p, 720p @ 60 frames per second, 720p and WVGA video 5 Megapixel Camera Nice big LCD display Records in QuickTime format with the H.264 compression standard SD Card Slot Built-in USB connector Image Stabilization / “face tracking” Removable Lithium-Ion Battery Macro function to shoot close-ups HDMI cable adapter (and cable is included!) External power charger (included) External AV cable connection (cables included) Battery included! Video quality good enough to do “chromakey” – green screen! Blows away the competition in terms of quality Includes PC editing software (you don’t need it if you have a Mac) The Not-So-Great: Can’t see yourself in the viewfinder Built-in USB connector is short Slow “boot up” time The zoom is “chunky” – not smooth Does not include SD card Battery life is 1.5 hours per charge Terrible audio hum if you plug a microphone into it with the power adapter connected Can’t use the camera as a webcam No light or flash Overall Rating 4.5 out of 5
Actually I have the Zi6 and if the editing program for the Zi8 is anything like the Zi6 then I donno if I want it. I use a PC and I cant stand the editing software the Zi6 came with.? So what can I get as a free download? Windows Movie Maker wont work with the video this cam takes…
Wow. Is? this guy real?
His intro makes it seem as if hes on a comedy.
He? sure is and truly a great person in real person. He is the owner of Traffic Geyser.
This? was very helpful, thank you for reviewing.
i love? this Camera but this video was just to pro.
Wow thats cheap for something that cool!!!
I? WANT ONE!! :O lol lol
wonderful…moreover its better looking and better performer than? flip…
If anyone wants to know, The camera does have a standard thread tripod mount on the bottom!!? I am in love with this camera!!!
I take it with me everywhere!!
All of the footage I’ve seen from the Zi8’s look jittery. Even over the chroma, it looks like he’s jittering. It hurts? my eyes after a little while.
@BlackJavaBean Hi. Yes, it is very jittery. Mine seems to only be of any use when on a tripod. The image stabilization seems to make things? look even worse.
1.5 hrs on? the battery?
Zi8 not? Z18 as in 0:18
Any suggestions? for an external mic for it?
thanks?
@bartellboy
Look into the Sony ECM-DS70P. It’s a mini stereo condenser mic. There is a pic on Amazon of that mic being used with this very? camera. However, beware of the cheap, fake versions of the mic floating around on Ebay that are being song from Hong Kong.
