Camcorders aimed at the YouTube generation are now arriving thick and fast. Defining the genre was the Flip Video Ultra , but we actually saw Creative's Vado first, here in the UK. Now Kodak is jumping on the bandwagon and raising the bar at the same time.

Full, in-depth review with video samples after the break.

The world of the digital video camera is slowly changing. Just as cheap compact digital cameras have killed 35mm in the mass market, cheap flash-memory based YouTube cameras, such as Creative's Vado and Pure's Flip Mino and Ultra, look set to eat into the low-end camcorder market over the next year...

If you haven't seen this video camera in person, it's about the size of a cell phone (almost exactly the same size as the Apple iPhone, but a little thicker: 2.5 inches x 4.5 inches x 0.9 inches), with a 2.4-inch LCD screen and controls on one side, and the lens and speaker/microphone on the other.

For a pocket camcorder, Kodak's Zi6 Pocket Video Camera has a ton of features and shoots video with surprisingly bright colours. UPDATED - MAY 1 2009.

Good size, good video. Easy to use, feels comfortable in your hand. Takes pictures as well as HD video. Looks like a somewhat large cell phone. Very easy to post to youtube

Easy to use; Great quality video; Very comfortable to hold and fits in your pocket

more features; Better software included with it

If you want an easy to use cheap HD camera go for this one. If you want super zooms, more features and something complicated to use buy something else! It is light and portable, very upgradable (I've a 16Gb - 4.5 hours worth SDHC card £20), you can recharge or buy batteries if they run out.

Easy to use; cheap; good quality sound and vision; upgradable; separate batteries

people who mindlessly slag off a good cheap camera - buy a more expensive one then!!

+ Good value

I love this video camera. It's easy to use and download to the internet. The only reason I gave it 4 stars was the software included sucks. I used to work in the software industry and I know decent software.

Easy to take videos; Easy to download; Fits in a pocket; Decent graphics

The included software, Media Impressions by ArcSoft sucks, It does best with a tripod; Hand held videos can be a bit shakey

Once you get used to the user interface which is designed to be simple (maybe to simple) it is not a bad device. Like a mobile phone camera you have to hold in front of your face to see the screen to watch what you are filming. This make the device less very obvoius when in use.
