David Pogue of The New York Times gave Kodak's competitor, the Flip MinoHD video camera, a fairly good review, and never mentioned Kodak's Zi6. It is possible, of course, that Kodak's PR people never contacted Pogue. I learned of the Zi6 from a fellow on Twitter who gave it high marks. I then read all the reviews here on Amazon.com, noting that many people complained the camera lacks motion stabilization. Here's a headline, folks - ALL still and video cameras lacked that feature until a few years ago. Video is usually shot either using a tripod or in short snippets of four to seven seconds, and then edited. Here is what I found when using the Kodak Zi6 - the HD video quality is astonishingly good when screened on my 20-inch Mac desktop. I believe that video quality is a primary quality, and the Kodak delivers. Audio is omnidirectional and only good to pickup ambient sound. The Zi6 (an model number which apparently means nothing) is small and lightweight, fits in a pocket, and can use AA batteries. Now, about the quirks - the camera seems to have been designed by someone who never used a laptop or a video camera. First, there is an annoying chime when the camera is turned on and off that cannot be disabled. I know the camera is on when I see an image appear in the screen, and do not need a chime to tell me. Second, the flip-out USB adapter used to connect with a computer is flimsy and upside down - a laptop's power adapter must be unplugged in order to make room to connect the camera. The designer wasn't thinking. Third, the camera's controls are pure guesswork, with no menu for guidance. Fourth, the camera booklet is worthless, and no help unless you have never before inserted a battery into a camera. Despite these design flaws, the camera captures remarkably good HD-style video in light conditions ranging from daylight to indoors with available light. I would give it higher marks were it not for the laundry list of design problems which make the Zi6 cheaply made and which are inexcusable for a company such as Kodak. Excellent engineering Kodak should be applauded for restructuring the company to produce a camera that compliments my Apple Ipod and immediately feels like a keeper. The controls are well thought out and the Macro opens up a whole new world of video. The camera so impressed me that I am looking at other Kodak offerings with a fresh eye. Kudos to the team that made this happen. Don't be fooled by comparisons to other HD video offerings in a small package, if you buy the Zi6 you will be happy with it for many years. No buyer remorse here. I never thought I would be saying this!
