Well here is a close up video of a CB radio shot by our favorite pocket video camera the Kodak Zi6.... Breaker...Breaker one - nine... got a picture taker at mile marker.... ahhh you get the idea!

Wind and the Zi6

I have noticed that the Kodak Zi6 picks up the wind a lot and a work around might be to get a small piece of foam as a "Wind Shield" or "Pop Filter", this would cut down on the amount wind going into the microphone... Might just work... Hmmmm. Here is a clip that demonstrates a lot of wind is not good.

Traffic Cone and the Christmas Tree

Darren Wood posted this video shot by his Kodak Zi6 on Vimeo. It seems that a traffic cone got stuck on the top of this pine tree for several days until it was removed. The real question is how did it get there in the first place? One would have thought that while they were up there they could have added an angel just in time for Christmas!

Cyber Monday Shopping

Welcome to Cyber Monday, the 1st Monday after Black Friday, that kicks of the official beginning of online shopping for Christmas. Why not pick up a Kodak Zi6 for that special someone (Even if it's yourself) and you can buy it from my Amazon Store, the ZEDi6 Store! Happy Holidays from ZEDi6.blogspot.com!

Plugged in @ Kodak.com

Kodak has a blog posted on Kodak.com (pluggedin.kodak.com). This blog is for the Kodak employees and Jennifer Cusney who is Kodak's "Chief Blogger" has a couple of entries on the Kodak Zi6. Read Kodak's Chief Blogger's blog. In one of her articles she posted a video that she had shot with the Kodak Zi6:

HD for the Holidays!

WFAA a television station in Dallas / Fort Worth, TX has in interesting article that compares the Flip Mino HD to the Kodak Zi6 By WALT ZWIRKO / WFAA (WFAA.com). Here is the link to the article "Have an HD holiday with pocket-size camcorders"! Also another article that mentions the Kodak Zi6 "Computer Corner Newsletter for Nov. 27"! No video to post which is kinda odd being that they are a TV Station.

This is truly AMAZING!

I found this on Greg Hughes website (greghughes.net) and this was shot with the Kodak Zi6 from high above and is truly AMAZING... HA! Get it?

Mike Agerbo shows the Kodak Zi6

Mike Agerbo "Tech Guy" joins Global Television for the tech segment (Kodak Zi6 begins at 1:23):

Bigger is better?

USAToday (USAToday.com) reports that YouTube (YouTube.com) has added a new high-definition video play to it's site (YouTube unveils high-definition video player), however the quality is still does not compare to other sites like Vemio (Vemio.com). From YouTube's blog ( blogyoutube.com/blog) posted November 24th 2008:

"Bigger Isn't Always Better... But in This Case, We Believe It Is
Over the years we've heard a lot of feedback from you about what you'd like to change about YouTube, and the size of our video player is always top of mind. That's why today we're excited to announce a bigger YouTube player. 

We're expanding the width of the page to 960 pixels to better reflect the quality of the videos you create and the screens that you use to watch them. This new, wider player is in a widescreen aspect ratio which we hope will provide you with a cleaner, more powerful viewing experience. And don't worry, your 4:3 aspect ratio videos will play just fine in this new player. "

So now you make the choice YouTube or Viemo!

Black Friday S-H-O-P-P-I-N-G

Welcome to Black Friday the day after Thanksgiving Day that kicks of the official shopping season for Christmas. If your looking to get that special someone (Even if it's yourself) a new Kodak Zi6, why not buy from my Amazon Store, the ZEDi6 Store! Happy Holidays from ZEDi6.blogspot.com!

Kodak Zi6 "Seeing is Believing"

Here is a test shot for possible Kodak Zi6 advertisement with the tag line Record... Play... Share... Seeing is Believing.

So why is this a big deal?

A couple of things that some reviews mentions that is bad about the Kodak Zi6 is the fact that it uses rechargeable AA batteries and the limited on board storage. So why is this a big deal? When compared to the Flip Mino HD that has an internal lithium-ion rechargeable and 4GB of internal memory, why is this good? When the Flip Mino HD battery goes dead you must wait 2-3 hours to charge the battery, with the Kodak ZI6 rechargeable AA if they go dead - Yes you have to recharge them, however you can get regular AA and continue on you way recording. WIth the Flip Mino HD you have a standard 4GB of internal storage which will give you one hour of recording time, however with the Kodak Zi6 you pick the amount of storage you need by buying an extra SD card. MSRP on the Flip Mino HD is $229.95 and MSRP on the Kodak Zi6 is $179.95 Even when you factor in the price of an SD card, extra rechargeable AA the Kodak Zi6 is still the clear and best choice for a pocket video camera.

Happy Thanksgiving Eve!

It is almost official... the holiday season is upon us. Every Thanksgiving Eve in Fort Wayne the turn on the holiday lights on the National City Bank. I was there with the Kodak Zi6... the lowest of all light levels... Ready in 5... 4... 3... 2... 1...

theBigMouth weighs in on the Kodak Zi6

Here is the review that I just posted on Cnet dot com:
"Kodak Zi6 - An HD pocket cam for the rest of us!"
by thebigmouth on November 22, 2008

Pros: Nice Size, HD Video, AA rechargeable, Takes SD Cards, Did I mention HD Video? Big bright view area
Cons: No stabilization built in, Low light Quality, No Macintosh Support, Digital Zoom
Summary: Well Kodak does it again! Kodak will do what it did for still photography to video photography, make it simple and with HD to boot with the all new Kodak Zi6. I love the idea of the rechargeable AA batteries if they go dead and I not near a recharger I can put in regular AA. The SD card, Yea I know there is not one in the box, but think of the options you'll have all the storage you can afford. The HD is absolutely gorgeous and for a price that anyone can afford. The viewing screen on the back is incredible as well! YEP there is an Flip Mino HD but for my buck there is no better than Kodak! Why? Because Kodak made a science in color and the Kodak Zi6 delivers. Some say that the Zi6 need stabilization and honestly I don't think that would help me, because I am one lousy videographer. The main thing that I wish this had was Macintosh support, the onboard software is for Pee Cee use only. The digital zoom does need some work as well as the video quality in low light. This is one great little pocket video cam that everyone is going to want. Check out the Zi6 blog at zedi6.blogspot.com!
