Kodak Zi6 Pocket HD Camcorder (Pink)
I really did not expect the high quality for inside usage this cute little pink camcorder is getting. The competion rated it so poorly they half way spooked me. But the color, price and the fact that I could install an additional memory card was a no brainer. It is a perfect little camcorder (with still pix capabilities) to carry with you always. It fits into a pocket or the smallest purse. A great gift for the high school graduate in June. |
Great pocket camcorder

I will start by saying that I was in the market for a pocket HD camcorder, not a full-size HD camcorder. Moreover, I kept in mind that I wanted something relatively inexpensive (I didn't want buy something so expensive that I would be too afraid to use it).
That being said, the Kodak Zi6 has been a great purchase so far. I initially set a budget for myself of around $180, and ended up getting this camera for around $106 on Amazon ... a great deal. I have since used this camcorder at a baseball game, a wedding, and more. Video taken in well-lit areas is fantastic. Video in darker areas is, well, to be expected, but, that goes with any camera or camcorder. The portability of this is nice ... fits right in my pocket. The weight is pretty late ... the 2 AA batteries weigh more than the camcorder itself ... or so it seems.
I love the option to expand with an SD card. For now, I've been using a 2 GB card, which would enable me to take roughly a half hour of HD (30fps) video). I recently purchased a 16 GB SDHC card (also from Amazon) so I look forward to using that. The camcorder can take up to a 32 GB card.
One thing I will mention is why I chose this product over competitors (i.e., Creative HD Vado and Flip HD camcorder). I believe the sound is superior in this unit. If you go on YouTube and search videos from each of these camcorder models, I think you will notice that the sound is a little better with the Zi6 than the other units. And, at the end of the day, what good is a video if you can't hear the people talking?
Product is very user-friendly (if my sister can use it without any problems, anyone can!). Worth the money! |
Terrific Camcorder!!

When I ordered this I was skeptical that it would be a good cam. However when I did get this, I was very surprised at the picture this small cam produced. This has a very clear pictures on play back and upon viewing on a TV it is outstanding. This cam is very easy to use - even my grandson who is 12 was able to figure it out with not problems. I am so pleased with this cam that I am ordering one for my daughter as well. This Z16 HD Cam fits easily in my pocket or purse and not like my Sony minicam which I have to carry in a bad or over shoulder. Software is easy to use.
I would recommend this cam to anyone who wants a small cam that has great HD results. |
Better than expected!!!!

I purchased this camera for BOTH the video and still capabilities. I am extremely pleased with this camera from both aspects. The audio is clear and crisp on the videos and I am really pleased with the still photos!! They are way better than expected as I use this feature to take pictures of my handmade jewelry and the closeup ability is really quite clear!!!
What a fun and easy camera - slip it in a purse or pocket, take along extra batteries and just go for it!!!! The HD video is awesome and since I already had on hand an 8GB and 16GB SDHC, I can shoot videos and take pictures for ever!!!!
The pink is a great metallic pink color and perfect for me but the option of purchasing a black one is perfect for the guys.
You will need to buy a decent case for it - but I had a leather (bright pink) nintendo DS Lite case and it fits perfect and there's room for two extra batteries and a couple SD cards to boot!!
Don't hesitate - great price, great camera - get into the HD era today!!! |
I LOVE it

| I just bought this camera, and my plan was to only use it for basic recording. I have had the camera for 2 days, and I LOVE it. I recoreded several hours and love the feel of it. The only problems I have noticed are the batteries, the charger, and the software. It is mediocre. The camera in general, I love. |
