  I have owned my Zi6 (sorry, this is not about the Zi8) for about six months, and have found it to be very pocket-size portable, very useful. The images are excellent, I have uploaded videos to YouTube using both the VGA and HD settings. The original instructions indicated that VGA was to be used for YouTube, but when I inadvertently recorded a clip using HD60, YouTube provided the viewer the opportunity to see it either in HD or in standard video. As others have noted, its primary weakness is camera shake. I’ve taken what would have been some wonderful panoramic shots of the Blue Ridge Mountains, rendered amateurish by the jumpiness of the view. I have taken some videos with my good-sized tripod attached; it helped immensely to steady the camera, as I could hold the tripod between my arm and chest. Battery life is so-so, but any camera is going to consume current when being used – always keep a spare pair of AAs in your carry case! I have not run into sound-related issues. I didn’t expect the Zi6′s mic to be of professional quality, but it does a decent job. Sorry if this is not the review of the Zi8 – I would expect the successor to my Zi6 to be that much better!

  I am very excited , and been awaiting this Kodak cam the Z18.

  I just read, and cannot believe what the reviewers wrote. the release date was set for Sept 1st, 2009, and its Aug 24th , while Amazon just changed their pre-orders to order Never a dull moment on the net, in cyberwold.

  Int Mic: a ground issue could it be, or a plain easy fix that a firmware update is needed. a rush to produce the Kodak Z18, will lead to major upsets, or not?

  The Aiptek action HD GVS, and HD1 both a Ext mic, produce a monoral sound left/right mono of the Ext mic port, while only the GVS producing a Int Mic seperated left/right sterio sound. Having the same issue and corrected with firmware, while only some had issues, and eventully lead to a change in mics.

  With the Int mics highly sensitive will amplify sound, and cause distortion, and cause poor qauilty sound, on most camcorder devices.

  Some of the most common questions, uses are concert, skateboarding, and racing.
  
  Some of the common questions, uses are adapter ofwide angle lenses, lighting, mics.

  Does a company listen, collect feedback, and place to gooduse, or they just hire a person to hit a delete button, answer the phone and listen and read out of a book.

  There is a saying give a camcorder to a photoghragher, and watch them fail.

  There is a saying give a Pc Low budget economy camcorder to a professional, and they’ll call this a toy.

  Remember these are not a home theater , professional qaulity camcorder, they are made for a PC/mac and to brought outside use, in daytime.

  They are a ” daytime outdoor pc low budeget Economy cam.

  thank you
  
  always a postive look

  A few nice features, and onboard editing helps a bit, but for a unit that doesn’t come with Mac compatible software it uses the Apple file type, .mov which won’t work with many video applications including Microsoft Movie Maker. If you only want to upload to You Tube then fine, this looks very nice. But I like to edit and make DVDs, and Kodak & Nikon won’t cut it with the .mov files. And when I’ve tried converting them they look terrible.

  THIS IS THE WORST CAMERA OF ANY KIND EVER — IF YOU WANT TO QUICKLY CAPTURE MEANINGFUL AND IMPORTANT SHOTS. Upon each and every start-up of the camera the user is forced to choose the picture quality/mode before the camera will begin recording; with the same exact action, the user is then required to use the thumb joystick to start the recording, which, if you try this, will likely result in a 50% success rate of getting the camera recording…..in any mode But you won’t know it until the next time you wanna record. Sounds confusing, it is! I missed a number of what I thought were great recordings of whales only to find out the camera was NOT recording.

  THIS IS THE WORST CAMERA EVER TO USE IN ANY KIND OF DAYLIGHT!!!!! The screen becomes invisible with gray glare. You cannot see what you are shooting from ANY angle, even if you try shielding the screen with your hand as you also try to focus on the shot and, god forbid, Kodak, enjoy the moment. My KODAK Zi8 is now at the bottom of Puget Sound, with the fishies. WHERE WILL YOU DISPOSE OF YOURS??????? Man, I’m pissed-off!!!!

  So the shipping status shows in transit but I get an email stating my order has been refunded. Reason given is “customer return”. That’s interesting since it isn’t due to be received for two more days. I called and was told it was damaged. Now I see the item is selling for $30 more than when I ordered just a week ago and is also backordered. Conveniently I could still order with expedited over night shipping ($$$) and get it by Christmas. Best Buy here I come…
