Unboxed: Kodak Zi8 Camcorder

Kodak’s pocket 1080p camcorder looks like a sweet competitor to the Flip cameras. I use a Sanyo Xacti VPC CG10. This is not a pocket camcorder, but it is compact enough. I believe the Sanyo has better quality, but I will save that for another video.

We are planning to do a few videos for comparisons between different cameras and modes that it does to give people a better understanding on what they should buy.

If you look at the video above you will see that Kodak impresses us with what they include in the box. Having a HDMI cable is heaven since most cameras just include the basic composite cables for a standard definition TV, while most people own a HDTV with support of HDMI.

Overall my first impressions of the device are that it is lightweight, feels a bit ‘plasticy’ but I like the feel of it. It feels like a thicker BlackBerry. Stay tuned for more coverage on this pocket HD camcorder. Please go visit our YouTube channel for more technology content.
