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.
