 AVOID - fatal flaws! July 25, 2010
A. Mandadi (Houston, TX United States)
Mine suffers from the immediate-freeze problem that turns the device into the paperweight reported by so many other users, and while researching this on the internet, I discovered a blog post that claimed that ONLY Kodak-branded memory cards will work in the thing (at more than twice the cost of generic memory cards). So not only did Kodak reportedly do this lousy thing in restricting the functionality, they didn't even have the courtesy to inform buyers that they had to use only THEIR memory cards, thus sending us all on wild goose chases trying to find workarounds to the device freeze issue. IMHO, that is the definition of ultimate corporate nastiness. I wouldn't buy from Kodak at this point if they were the last manufacturers on earth.
 A great, cheap alternative to Flip or Higher Kodaks May 31, 2010

I recently lost my Kodak 12 Megapixel Camera I owned, and I take many videos constantly, and finally ran in to some extra money to get a camcorder. With only a $100 budget, I went with the Kodak Zi6 for $60 off of craigslist. It had recieved positive reviews and decidedly was the right choice, and in that way it is. This camera is DEFINITELY portable- despite it's mild bulk (which I will talk about shortly), you can use it anywhere. Say your on the road all day, and your filming every second of it. You can interchange SD cards to store certain parts on and can record up to 10 HOURS of video on a 32GB SD Card- far more than any flash memory Flip or Vado camcorder has even come close to. It is also great that you can charge your main Kodak batteries, and at the same time use regular AA's. The quality of the camera is superb- 720p HD looks very good, and no Flip camera has the option of 60FPS, which makes things even better. The fact it can also take pictures is a relief too. The built in software is excellent too- easy uploads to Youtube! But of course I have my pet peevs about this camera. The still photo quality is terrible; even sub-par to my iPhone. Low lighting quality is horrible and winds are disasterous. Compared to about any other camcorder on the market, it is the bulkiest. But, aside of everything, my final thoughts:
Pros:
Small
Cheap
720P
HD Video Connection to TV
Ability to change Batteries and SD Cards up to 32GB
Built in Software
Still Pictures
Easy to use
60FPS Option
Cons:
Bulky
Terrible still shots
Terrible wind sounds
Horrible low lighting
Not the best quality
But, for far far less than any flip video is going to cost you, I give this camera a 4/5- not perfect, but for saving money, this is your camera.
 Very Nice! May 30, 2010

This is a very nice pocket camera. Saying that, you can't expect a lot more from it. It is very high quality and takes nice day to day video. It captures family events etc quite well. Although, the zoom is quite poor and it's not even worth using. The zoom is probably about 10mm, so this is clearly not a camera for sporting events. This is a fantastic camera for just videoing a vacation, family event, or trying to start up a YouTube channel. The quality is quite superb for its small size but it can get a little watercolory in the blazing sun. If things are blurry check the long side of the camera for the focus button it probably out of place (tyou just push it up or down for focusing on small objects or just a landscape). The battery life is fantastic and it's a great small size. I reccomend this!
SHAKYYYY May 20, 2010

Unless you are perfectly still while filming, the film is so shaky that it's hard to watch (unless you enjoy being sea sick). VERY hard to watch. Be aware. I wish I had bought something else - what a bummer!!!

I record my RC plane flying with this camera attached to my hat. Great fun and nice video.
