Kodak Zi8 High Definition Video & Audio Quality Test

Robert tests the Kodak's video quality in 1080p with various shooting methods such as, using a tripod, not using a tripod, fast motion, slow motion, panning, zooming, and more with the video camera. Robert also performs an audio test with the built-in microphone. ~

@ThatBookGirl I would say get an external one if you can afford to. Last time I checked they were not that expensive.

@medz1111 It's a Kingston SDHC Class 4 memory stick.

this is one of the best reviews i have seen in a long time, keep up the good work.

@highjump44 I'd say right around 1 hour to 1.5 hours is how much I got out of it. A secondary battery is fairly cheap for this unit, so definitely a must have if using on the go.

It's hard to believe that small of camera shoots such good video quality. Thumbs up from here on the Zi8 camera.

Very good review. I got most of the information I needed to make a decision to buy this camera. Your review would of had all the information I wanted If you would of gave info about battery life, how long to charge a dead battery, and can you do video out to a computer as you record.

There is an outboard battery that gives it a 4 hour life...and a telephoto lens that fits on it.
and the audio is kick-ass if you use a good field recorder with it.

Curious using a 32gb class 6 sdhc card. kodakzi8 records about 23mins of
HD Footage. Would a class 10 card record longer?

...excellent footage, reviews...what memory did you used...is it SD or SDHC...could you tell me the brand name and what class...i have the same camcorder but i don't know what SD memory card i should buy...thanks...

I don't know if you still answer questions on this, but how good is the in-bult mic? Does it pick up a lot of background noise? Would you say it's good enough for vlogging or would I need to get an external one? Thanks!
