Vergleichstest / Side by Side Comparison between the new Kodak Zi8 and the Zi6 Pocket Video Camera

This test compares the new Kodak Zi8 and the Kodak Zi6. Same location, same view, same 720p capture. On the left you see the Zi8-view, on the right the Zi6-view.

iFranz and _Refugee_ were asked to do this test in English for better understanding internationally, but please be patient

Further details:
- Split screen view Kodak Zi8 and Zi6
- Fullscreen Kodak Zi6
- Sound Zi6 and Zi8 with external microphone
- 720p because of Zi6 limitation (the Zi8 does 1080p)
- Final Cut Pro without using Plug-Ins.


Filmed with Kodak Zi8.

very good review. it appears the zi8 has better clarity. I bought the zi8 and impressed, much better than my other pocketcam samsung-U10.

I like the fact that both had good dark lighting, zi8 was just a tad brighter but could be because the resolution was cleaner.

In regards to the other person's question, the zi8 in 1080p does not record in wide-angle but it does in 720p, and from this video it looks like zi6 does not record in wide angle 720 (but maybe it does in 30fps?).

Thank you very much for the great explanation.

the makro mode of the Zi8 is about 40 cm and on the Zi6 it is less than 10 cm - that makes the difference. Regarding the zoom, both have digital zoom, the Zi8 4x digital and the Zi6 2x digital!

I bought a zi8 today because of this and other video tests on you tube. I haven't got it yet but I hope it's everything it seems to be!

[KodakDeutschland]

Let us know, what you think once you had a chance to test it. .

Thank you, gentlemen. This is by far the best video I have found while doing my research for a new video camera.

Hey guys great video!

I noticed you edited your video in Final cut pro.

Just wondering what did you export your video at.

This is because whatever I export my videos at, when I put them on youtube there very glitchy.

Thanks
