Kodak Zi8 pocket video camera: Better high-def resolution with image stabilization, a pocket-camcorder’s first
Kodak has announced the release of its Zi8 HD Pocket Video Camera. The new Kodak Zi8 HD Pocket Video Camera is the successor to the Kodak Zi6. The just-announced Zi8 pocket video camera offers better high-def resolution along with image stabilization which is a pocket-camcorder’s first.
Kodak has announced its new high-definition pocket video camera, the Zi8, which captures video in 1080p HD. The Zi8's predecessors, the Kodak Zi6 and the weather-resistant Kodak Zx1, max out at 720p. The Zi8 HD video camera, with recording1080p HD video, can snap 5-megapixel still shots at a 16:9 aspect ratio.
The Zi8 has an HDMI-out port and a swing-out USB arm (like the Pure Digital Flip Mino HD which is a more expensive alternative) that enables users to upload files quickly. The Zi8 comes with only 128MB of internal memory, so you'll have to use the expansion slot for an SD/SDHC card to store most of the video. The Zi8 HD camera is also the first pocket camcorder we've seen that has built-in image stabilization, which will certainly come in handy for recordings captured during high-speed unicycle chases.
The stylish and slim digital camera is designed to meet the needs at the touch of a button without a lens cap, dials to turn or settings to adjust. The new Kodak Zi8 HD Pocket Video Camera range of advanced features includes:
* Full HD 1080p video capture wherever you go
