A better portable video tool

摘要

A few weeks ago I discussed the Flip Mino, a miniature digital movie camera that quite impressed me. Well, the bar has been raised. Kodak sent me its latest digicam.the Zi6 Pocket Video Camera. I I liked the Mino but this product is a better choice. It's roughly the same size as the Mino (2.5 by 4.5 by 0.9 inches) and roughly the same weight (3.8 ounces),but the physical design is better. Where the Zi6 really ups the ante is that it takes HD video.While it can shoot at VGA resolution, it also shoots in 720p, 16:9 format at either 30 fps or 60 fps. It also uses standard rechargeable AA NiMH batteries (the Mino's battery is internal), has a flip-out USB connector (like the Mino), and takes SD/SDHC cards (the Mino has no expansion capability).
