Hi Henkman00,

Most likely it is - is it at least a "duo core" machine? If it's Duo, or even better - Quad Core, you're all set!

Thanks for the tips, just got mine (and I have a fast PC Duo Core, 2GB, 8800GT videocard) so I am good to go. THANKS!

Thanks for the kind comment MaximumRD. Have a blast with your new Zi6. They really are a blast to use...! Erik

Honestly, you helped sell me on it. I went in knowing full well of the negatives (not the greatest in low light, no image stabilization etc) if you keep this in mind and take the proper care to use under the right conditions then it is an excellent deal for the price!

I was impressed with everything the package comes with. I admit I already had my own high capacity rechargables so the Kodak ones are just extras but as I am very happy with it. Too many people are expecting the performance/features of HD camcorders costing $500+ when it is meant to be judged against it's own class of devices like the Mino and Vado. Used under well lit conditions and using a tripod or just learn to have a steady hand and the lack of image stabilization is no issue.

Nice vid erik m8

What did you edit this clip with ?

[quadravhs]

Hi and Thanks for the Comment, I edited this with Canopus Edius, spit it out as Widescreen DV, and (I failed to mention this in the Video unfortunately) then transferred the Clip to H.264 at 720x380 for upload to You Tube. (I think I'll try other heights, as this left some letter box borders - a work in progress while trying to keep the width consistent) Thanks for the question and best of luck! Take Care, Erik
