I watched the video review, and I sort of wonder we're using the same camera. Maybe his pre-release device had some sort of issue? It certainly could use some image stabilization, but I think the overall quality is incredible. The screen is great, too. I really like it.

In terms of the other review, I find it odd he'd recommend the Flip Mino, which only records at 640x480, versus the Zi6's 1280x720 (720p). Not to mention the ability to record at up to 60fps. The Zi6 also has a macro mode.

I also like that the Zi6 creates H.264 files, which Mac OS X handles natively. Flip devices use an AVI format, which will only work with iMovie if you install a separate codec (which is a free download).

I think it's a great device. I thought I was basically getting it for the covenience and punting on quality, but I'm really happy with the results. The Kodak site says they're in stock.

This is my next camera. The flip ultra i am using will hit ebay next week! The thing that would really set this thing apart is a mic jack.

The quality from the Zi6 looks fantastic, but I'm really concerned about the lack of stabilization, especially after seeing this video. There's a lot of shaking, and after even a minute, I'm not so thrilled about watching.

At the same time, 720p is gorgeous. And that macro mode looks fantastic as well.

Forget the camera: Is this your home? Wow! What a beautiful paradise to wake up to. BTW, thanks for the footage. You've tipped my hat in favor of the Kodak.

You could get a stabilizer if you're worried about the camera not being steady.

The Manfrotto Modosteady (odd name, I know) is $100 with free shipping from J&R.

But this video looked fine to me. And you have a lovely yard.

Great camera, but you can't upload directly to flickr with it.
