  • Lighter
  • Shorter
  • Sleeker body than the previous models. Lithiumion battery (no more AAs) lasts more than an hour. HD enthusiasts will appreciate the difficulty of deciding between 720p (60fps) and 1080p (30fps). Audiophiles will love the mic jack. Showof

The editors didn't like

  • Only a 4x digital zoom is included on this device.
  • Jerky zoom. Subpar still image quality. Mediocre built-in mic. Hyper-sensitive buttons. Can get very hot with extended use.
  • Bundled software isn't Mac compatible. Some video noise. Digital zoom only.
  • Larger than competitors
  • EIS can't smooth all jitters
  • Lukewarm ArcSoft software package
  • Bundled software isnt Mac compatible but necessary for smooth playback of 1080p video
  • Price doesnt include an optional memory card.
  • Red recording light is a stealthkiller. Digizoom is a reskiller. No included SD card is a buzzkiller. Plastic body shows every smudge. Unexceptional 5MP stills
  • Slightly bulky
  • Audio is not sensitive
  • UI is slightly confusing.
  • Not the greatest camera to use in low light
  • Low framerate from 1080p video
  • Noisy microphone input
  • Image stabilization doesnt help much
  • Terrible zoom.
  • Buggy
  • Jumpy 4X digital zoom
  • Controls are slow to respond

  • Zi8 från Kodak leder in testarna på olika linjer. Men det som framförallt sammanför testresultaten är åsikten om att Kodak tagit sig vatten över huvudet med specialfunktionerna....

  • Abstract:  Kodak Zi8 är inte den snyggaste kameran i testet, däremot är den störst av alla. Visserligen tar den mer plats i fickan, men i gengäld är den skön att filma med och har en stor skärm. Bildkvaliteten är riktigt bra.

  • Abstract:  Tidigare modeller har haft sina brister men nu prickar Kodak rätt. Zi8 är både lättanvänd och högkvalitativ. Kodaks kamera är lite bredare än de andra vilket gör den lite svårare att greppa. Knapparna är okej men att använda joysticken som avtryc...
