Flip MinoHD vs Kodak Zi6 - Test 2 Continuous at 720p

To get the most out of this video, make sure you click the "Watch in HD" link under the video.

This is a test video I made showing the same footage captured with the Flip MinoHD and the Kodak Zi6 pocket HD camcorders.

Test 2 Continuous is the same video used in Test 2 Side-by-Side except here I run each clip in full screen. The first clip is the Flip MinoHD and the second clip is the Kodak Zi6. This video was shot in a kitchen using only the light above the stove. It is intended to show how this captures in an extreme low light setting. Notice that you can see more detail on the front of the stove with the Flip MinoHD, yet the lighting and color is off.

If you didn't view the side-by-side version of this, you don't really have to unless you want to see both of them to compare. Just click on my videos and view the other Test 2 video.

I have written a full review of both these cameras and you can view that at http://agentsquirrel.com/2009/02/22/tech-review-flipvskodak-intro/. Or just go to http://www.agentsquirrel.com and click on Technology from the navigation.

Kodak Zi6 is better

[longthetiger99]

yea but color can be easily fixed in editing smoothness cannot.

[magichabs3921]

its apples and oranges here .. Flip for smoothness, and kodak for color

[johnmonk66]

the flip handles low light better, but that damn yellow color is terrible, i gotta choose the kodak

They both do pretty bad with no lighting. Kodak Zi6 has better colors. Though the FlipMinoHD is smoother.
