Just Posted: Kodak EasyShare Zi8 Review

Late last night we posted our hands-on review of Kodak's latest pocket digital camcorder, the EasyShare Zi8. These models are becoming more and more popular these days, as we've test three units already this year, including the Flip UltraHD, and the Kodak ZX1.

Operating the Zi8 is extremely simple, so every member of your household or office will have no problem picking this camcorder up to capture some video, or even 5-megapixel stills.

  • 1080p Full HD video capture at 30fps
