Review on πŸŽ₯ Kodak Zi6 Pocket HD Camcorder (Pink) - Discontinued Model by Sourn Debremarkos

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Shaky audio and choppy video

Some of the videos I recorded had very poor shaky audio. It doesn't matter whether there was ambient noise or not. I returned this unit and Revain once again lived up to their name with a full refund. Good: photo mode - not the best, but it exists! The images look like a paused video. External storageRechargeable swappable batteriesSelf portrait mirror 720p looks really amazing when played on HDTV Mac support - can use regular iMovie '08 Bad: Shaky audio - made it unusable for me - my kids voices came out broken Bad video update - yes, 720p looks great, but zi6 videos look great very intermittently. I think the technical term is framerate(?). Not impressive if you're taking photos on the go - like walking, panning, following my kids. Flimsy - the case is very thin. I'm 100% sure it won't withstand a single drop on the floor. With children this is inevitable. All in all a great alternative to the Flip series, but the sound issue took away my enthusiasm. Wanted to get zi8 after returning this but gave up after reading the "alt" issue. Looks like Kodak hasn't figured out the sound yet! Where I left off is the iPod nano with video. Read my review on this if you are interested.

Pros
