In this month’s CompuSchmooze column, I give the nod to the Kodak Zi8 high-definition video camera.
Many people use Flip cameras, but I think the Kodak wins because of its removable storage and external microphone jack.
Watch some examples of videos I’ve shot with the Kodak
What do you think?
If I’m gonna go to the trouble of adding an external mic, i’m bringing a better camera than either of these.
I think you would be surprised at what you can actually accomplish with the Kodaks, John. The videos we produce for NJSpotlight.com (https://lubetkin.net/category/client-podcasts/njspotlight-client-podcasts/) and the video documentary for the Food Bank of South Jersey (https://lubetkin.net/category/client-podcasts/food-bank-of-south-jersey/) and our video series for the Burlington County Chamber of Commerce (https://lubetkin.net/category/client-podcasts/burlington-county-chamber-of-commerce/) are all produced with Kodak Zi8s and the PlayTouch, at 720p resolution.
I just ordered an $80 HD Flip from Amazon just to carry around all the time. It’s a camera addiction, I’m sure you understand Steve.
