Index of Kodak Zi6 HD Pocket Video Camera Expert Reviews
- Trustedreviews—The Kodak Zi6 does up the ante for video quality amongst YouTube-oriented camcorders, at least in the majority of lighting conditions. But the question is, if you’re aiming at YouTube, do you need HD anyway? Fortunately, you don’t pay much of a premium for it over the Flip or Vado, although you will need to shell out for an SDHC card straight away. For simple capturing of family moments, however, the Zi6 does a competent job. So if you’re not just shooting for YouTube, the extra resolution swings things in its favour over the competition, although video hobbyists need not apply.
- Laptopmag—The Kodak Zi6 is lightweight, easy to use, and takes smooth HD video and crisp Macro photos. And it holds SD Cards, something the Flip Mino and Video Ultra don’t do—all this for $179, the same price as the Flip Mino. The Mino has a more streamlined design, but we’d rather carry and use the Kodak Zi6, despite the lack of built-in video-editing capabilities.
- cnet—The good: Solid 720p video; comparatively large LCD; memory-card expansion slot; AA rechargeable batteries included along with protective carrying case and video output cables.The bad: Insufficient onboard memory and price doesn’t include an optional memory card; can’t recharge batteries via USB connector; included software isn’t Mac compatible.The bottom line: While bigger than most of its competitors and high priced for a mini camcorder, the Kodak Zi6’s attractive design and decent video quality adequately compensate for some usability drawbacks.

The Kodak Zi6 works well. The video is clear, sharp and easy to use. It is not easy to hold the camera still and videos can look a little shaky but that’s not unusual for such a small camera. With video processing software that can be overcome.
I use a MAC so I do not use the Windows software that comes with the camera.
The only negative I found is the zoom tends to be jumpy and therefore, transitions using the zoom can be jerky rather then smooth.
For an easy to use quick video camera I would recommend the Kodak Zi6 to friends.

I purchased Zi6 preparing for my vacation trip to FL. I just wanted to try it and if I didn’t like it just return it back to store. Price was unbeatable 149 in TARGET, End of March 2009. My first impression was white balance settings and how it reacts on lighting conditions changes. I think reason is CMOS. CCD creates a little bit colder/bluish colors. Second, was how simple this device is. As an owner of LUMIX with optical image stabilization I can say that to create quality video more important is to know and follow basic video making rules, like using tripod or monopod, never zoom in and zoom out in the same clip, keep camera static/stable, do not move too much, etc.
I use my Zi for about 2 months now and still do not see any real competitors in the same class or size of camcorders. My criteria’s are video and sound quality. Only pocket camera that I would prefer is Canon SD780IS, but price is $245 what is about 2 times higher than $129 in TARGET. Even Zx1 is not a competitor to Zi6 and reason is its sound reception. I highly recommend this camera as a first step to Canon HF100 or as a pocket addition to it.

Love this little guy. I take it everywhere. It is great!
After reading reviews and working with products in the stores, I decided to purchase the Zi6 over the Flip HD products.
Here are my reasons:
1) Zi6 uses Memory Cards, up to 32gigs, not an option with the Flip Products. Swap out, easy to move data around, print stills directly to my Epson printer.
2) Batteries, the Zi6 comes with rechargable batteries, actually my Zi6 purchase came with two sets of batteries and one charger. Batteries life is very good, mine last about 4 days between recharge.
3) Zi6 LCD screen size large compared to the Flip screens.
4) Great video qualtity, for the device type.
5) Zi6 comes with all the cables.
I did not work with Flips software, but Kodak software works well. I use Pinnacle Studio to edit and upload my videos and stills.
Again, really enjoy this camera. It is always in my pocket and now I don’t miss anything.
