Flip Ultra HD & Kodak Zi8 comparison (Watch in 720p)

[SirFakeName]

Kodak is the winner. I can even tell on my crappy computer.

Kodak does better color

[Twisted4000]

well the kodak has way better video quality but the flip's audio is dominant

[GoofyBoa]

why does it get laggy when I watch in 720p? i have a brand new laptop.

[jasonshand]

@GoofyBoa Probably more YouTube than your new laptop. Try viewing in full screen 720p, should be smoother. I sometimes have similar problems and that always fixes it.

Seems the Kodak has better resolution but the Flip has MUCH better sound quality.

[jasonshand]

@JCoreyball2 This is true, of the internal microphones. However, you can plug in an external stereo mic to the Kodak Zi8. (The internal one is mono, for some strange reason!)

I'll take the zi8, when you consider the nightmare that awaits you with the flip ultraHD "check battery" problem, it's a no brainer. I had the Flip and it was a disaster trying to charge it, and if you read all over the net it's a common problem THAT PURE DIGITAL CAN'T FIX.

[jasonshand]

I didn't know about the charging problem but the lack of battery indicator was a huge issue for me personally.

[mrbuchanantoyou]

really see the difference in sound now

think the pic quality is better on the kodak though

but hey as i said i'm a Flip hater

[jasonshand]

Yes - and the bonus with the Kodak is you can plug-in a stereo mic.

very good video clear and blur free ..i have to get one to do my first u tube video..

o by the way did you have a good new year.

say hello to your bro...

[jasonshand]

Thanks - and yes, get some of your own videos on here! :)

Ive got a flip ultra hd myself its a no bad camera, but the kodak is probably better

[jasonshand]

To be honest, it was the first one I found but after plenty of research, I do think the Kodak Zi8 shades over it - however it is newer than the Flip Ultra HD.
