I got this camera for xmas. I asked for the hand-held HD camcorder but after doing the research found this would give you near the same video quality for a much cheaper price! I am very pleased! If you use the HD cables n watch the videos on your HDTV the image comes out stunningly clear!

Before I start. I don't really know a great deal about the technical side of this camera. If you need to know the specs, you can get that from the manufacturers website or on Play.com. That is where I bought mine from. I paid about ￡120 for mine but it is now down to ￡99.99.

A great little video camera that is both fun and easy to use

Sound quality

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!!

I bought this to take video of my son's golf swing so I could send it to his instructor. For this it works great! It's really easy to plug it into my Mac after a round or practice session and get all the video into iPhoto.

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.

From the front yard to the playing field, the Kodak Zi6 Pocket Video Camera stood above the rest for its outdoor video quality, which blew the other models away with its clarity and crispness.

Kodak's Zi6 predates the ZX1 by a few months. It offers the advantage of an SDHC slot, plus 128MB of internal memory.

For a pocket camcorder, Kodak's Zi6 Pocket Video Camera has a tonne of features and shoots video with surprisingly bright colours. It won't replace your full-sized camcorder or rival such a camcorder's feature set, but it does offer characteristics unique among the current crop of pocket HD...

Frame-rate options; vivid footage; expandable storage

Colours sometimes appear blown out; focus quality can be spotty

The measurements on the Kodak Zi6 are fairly pedestrian. Weighing in at 5.6 ounces, the camera is not going to be a chore to hold, and it will fit in most pockets, but compared to the current market, this is a little on the hefty side.

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.
