Test of the Kodak Zi6 "lifestyle" camcorder. It's their answer to the Flip Ultra. Same sort of thing, only it shoots in 720p HD and has a SDHC card slot.

(Note: Dangit, I have no idea why Vimeo says "this video has been removed" when you try to play it in HD. Turn HD off and it'll play fine. Any stuttering or skipping is flash video's fault, not the Zi6's. Download the QuickTime to get an idea of the sort of video that comes out of the camera.)

    Also, seems like it can't really handle loud audio coming in. Sounds like the built-in compressor is heavily chocking.

    Were you using a class 6 card for this? The water really choked the fps. But I suppose in most situations, the scenery isn't changing that much.

    The HD encoding/setup takes a bit longer. give it time to work itself out.

    Its been 18hrs, it should have been easily processed by now. It was even showing as being up, the error is giving now shows that the video was taken down.

    I hope this doesn't mark the start of another S3 outage. Doesn't look widespread right now.

    Did you hire, plan or coordinate the gaggle of shirtless men to appear at the end of the video?

    Quite the surprise ending, I thought.

    Andy, could you please add a 720p 60FPS sample as well?

    This one was 30FPS.
