I received my Zi6 2 days before we left for our vacation to Jamaica, This is by far the best tech purchase I have ever made! i learned on the fly how to use it,because I didn't pack the manual, and it was fairly easy. The pics I took were clear & crisp and the video was outstanding, some how they have Finally created a video camera that cuts out wind noise...BRAVO!! We were out on a catamaran cruise and We barely ever hear the wind on the video, but the voices are extremely clear, but I also used a HC SD card, I'm not sure how a regular SD card would perform.
The only draw back I could find is that is has no flash or light for the camera, & unless you have an extremely steady hand while taking pictures @ night, the pics were blurry,but we knew it immediately because the playback is extremely easy.
They have also FINALLY stumbled on low battery use. I have owned several Kodak cameras & they were " Battery Gluttons", I almost didn't buy it for that reason, I am So Glad I gave Kodak another chance.
I'm not too enthrawled about the Media software that came with the camera, It is very slow, but I use kodak easy share software program that came with one of my previous camera, & Voila speed & ease !!
Over all ,my hats off to Kodak for this Camera extremely compact, clean crisp pictures( even close ups) and outstanding video.....Kudos
