  • Abstract:  A direct followup to the excellent Zi6 HD pocket cam, the Zi8 adds a 1080p 30fps mode, a lithium ion battery, image stabilization, HDMI-out and a mic jack. It's restyled too, and less pudgy. The price: $180 The verdict: Kodak's first foray into po...

  • Video capture up to 1080p HD resolution; image quality is quite good for a mini camcorder; SD card slot; removable, rechargeable battery; bundled composite and HDMI cables; strong low-light performance; external mic jack; electronic image stabilization...

  • Sharp 1080p video and shooting options, can use earbuds as external mic
  • Controls are slow to respond, buggy, jumpy 4x digital zoom
  • The full-featured Zi8 captures the best HD pocket-camcorder footage we’ve seen, plus it has shooting options galore. Tere are some interface and key usability issues and digital zoom often get in the way. ...

  • Abstract:  The popular Flip camcorder might have been the device that brought pocket-sized point ‘n' shoot video cameras into the limelight, but it's now facing some stiff competition from the Zi8, a snappy little HD recorder from Kodak which, if it could speak, ...

  • The Kodak Zi8 is a step up from the Zx1. Although we are not really into its design, the image and video quality has improved. We felt Kodak’s effort in making the Zi8 more than just a YouTube cam for amateurs. There is, however, a problem with the pro...

  • Der Vorteil der kleinen HD-Cams liegt sprichwörtlich auf der Hand; einfacher und schneller kommt man bislang kaum zum HD-Video. Die klassischen Camcorder sind etwas aufwendiger zu bedienen und vor allen Dingen schlicht größer, also immer eine Überlegung w...

  • Die Kodak-Kamera ist die Größte unter den Winzlingen und bringt auch das größte Display mit. Sie liefert ausgewogene Bilder im Video- und im Fotomodus und bleibt trotz Zusatzfunktionen in der Bedienung übersichtlich.Thomas JohannsenTestredaktion Hifi T...

  • Lichtstark, Mikrofon-Eingang, Manuelle Tonaussteuerung
  • Wenig Weitwinkel, Schwenks ruckeln leicht
  • Als Alltagsbegleiter für Aufnahmen, die für YouTube und andere Filmportale geplant sind, ist der Kodak Zi8 ein idealer Begleiter. Er verbindet eine ordentliche Aufnahmequalität mit einfacher (Automatik-) Bedienung. Abgesehen vom Mikrofon-Eingang müssen Si...

  • In Sachen Ausstattung bietet die Kodak im Vergleich zur direkten Konkurrenz ein etwas größeres Display und einen Mikro-Eingang, die Bildqualität bei guten Lichtverhältnissen ist für ein solch eingeschränktes Gerät passabel. Störend ist der Rolling , na...
