Kodak is famous for its cameras and today it unveiled a brand new Zi8, 1080p Image-stablized High Definition HD pocket camcorder. The Zi8 can not only make 1080p HD videos but it can also take 5 mega pixels still pictures with an aspect ratio of 16:9. The Zi8 also offers YouTube support and you can also uploads pictures on Facebook directly. According to PC World
“The Zi8 has an HDMI-out port and a swing-out USB arm (like the Pure Digital Flip Mino HD–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. It’s 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.
Also noteworthy is the Zi8′s external microphone jack; though the Zi6 captured great sound, we didn’t love the audio quality on the Zx1, so we appreciate having the option to add an external mic. The Zi8 comes in a new color this time around, as well: tart-but-delicious raspberry (in addition to aqua and black).”
All the above features in a pocket size camcorder comes with a price tag of only $180, which we think is pretty cheap. We strongly believe that Zi8 will be a major success for Kodak. What do you think?

Cheers for this informative stuff. From time to time, the greatest suggestions come from the sources you may not expect. Recently, I failed to give so much thought to commenting on weblog posts and have left responses even less. Viewing your valuable article, may well motivate me to do so sometimes.
