Kodak’s Zi8 high-definition pocket camcorder is the super powered follow up to the company’s cult favorite Zi6 model. It’s as well the most full-featured pocket-size camcorder thanks to three unequaled features: the power to record 1080p full-HD video, digital image stabilisation, and an microphone-in jack that allows you use stock headphones or earbuds as a external microphone It lives up to its promise in at least two of those three areas, offering brilliant video quality and various audio choices.
The Zi8 also dishes out a variety of shooting alternatives. Besides the 1080p setting 1920-by-1080 videos recorded as .mov files at 30 frames per second, you will be able to as well capture images in a number of resolutions and frame-rate counts: 720p at 60 fps, 720p at 30 fps, 848-by-480 standard-definition WVGA video, and 5-megapixel still photographs. That’s a broader range of options than some full size camcorders offer up, let alone most pocket-size devices.
The microphone-in jack is on the side of the Zi8 is also a pleasant addition. The jack is the same size as a standard headphone or earbud jack, which means you’ll be able to use earbuds as jury-rigged, stereo microphones. The inbuilt microphone on the front of the Zi8 is also enough; a bit of background hum is in some wide shots, but it unquestionably picks up far-off sounds a good deal better than the top-mounted microphone on the Kodak Zx1.
