KODAK’S ZI8  FOR THE LOW PRICE, EVERYBODY MAKING YOUTUBE VIDEOS SHOULD GET THIS

KODAKZI8
Count the announcement of Kodak’s Zi8 ultra-compact hi-def camcorder (above) as the latest salvo in the burgeoning Flip-killer market. But while Flip just keeps making subtle design refinements in its 720p models, Kodak and everyone else—mainly Sony, Sanyo, RCA, and Creative—are plotting victory by way of increased resolution and strategic feature add-ons. In the case of the Zi8, that means 1080p video, image stabilization, improved low-light shooting, YouTube and Facebook uploading, and…a microphone ja ck. That said, the virtue of this style of camcorder is the relative lack of buttons, not the lack of features, and at this price, we’re not complaining. One solid aftermarket option: the new Eye-Fi Geo memory card, which automatically geotags everything you shoot for eternity, for free—provided, that is, you’re using an Apple to upload your videos (or photos).
Kodak Zi8, ships in September, $179, 1000words.kodak.com; Eye-Fi Geo SD card, $59.99, eye.fi

  3. I always find that light is an issue with recording videos especially for youtube. I’m glad at least for you Jermaine that you haven’t had too much of that problem with the camera you use. Since you’ve been filming and photographing, how have you been coping with this? Is it more post production for you or is most of the work taken care of from the shootings? Let me know when you can.
