Hi JohnM3791 - I agree technology has a ways to go for better low-light situations and better image stabilization. It's hard to beat a steady-cam or similar machine with software. It's a fun little camera, nonetheless, and I think Kodak may add the Zi8 features to the next version of their Zx1, the model used here.
I Bought the Sony Handycam HD XR100 Which was about $700 at the time and I also Owned the Sanyo Xacti 1080 HD Digital camcorder and it Makes no Difference, They Both Had Image Stabilizers and Both Recorded Very Jumpy HD Video,and Neither were any Good indoors.I just Dont Think Technology Has Caught Up Yet.
@JOHNM3791 dude the full hd recording with superb video stabilisations can be only found in professional camcorders. they have broadcasting quality full hd video. i think u have spend $1000 + on this cameras and still they dun give full hd recording stabilisation even at this price. y didn't u bought the sony hdr fx7 dude . it a full hd professional camcroder with broadcast quality like discovery channel. and its only of $1300 LOL
Randy - I processed it with iMovie to stabilize. You are right that holding the Zx1 steady is very difficult without a mono or tripod, or bracing against a wall. With practice at holding steady & supporting with both hands you can get pretty good.
The new Kodak Zi8 adds stabilization (plus full 1080i HD, and 5 megapixel stills).
whats the track ???:D

Very sharp. If i was to splurge on a camcorder that's the one I'd get. Thanks for cementing the deal.
