Kodak Zi8 Test Footage 1080p - Raiders vs. Chiefs

This is the first test I did with my new Zi8. Shot at 1080p, 30fps. The close up stuff, I used the Macro setting. All of this is right out of the box, no mods. And I didn't get a chance to upgrade my firmware, so this is firmware 1.03 -- what the camera shipped with. Looks great and I am happy with this footage. I shot some more, but it was too choppy. Next time, I'll shoot the action stuff at 720p/60fps.

@TheConfessionMovie What Microphone are you using? I invested in an external Sony mic & it's great indoors but at sporting events etc it picks the wind up very easily. So just wondering if your using the built in mono Mic or an external? Cheers

[TheConfessionMovie]

@Greavo For this, I was just using the internal mic. I do have a little external stereo mic also, but didn't have it on me when I shot this. You could always buy a little higher end mic and get a windsock for it, but that kinda takes away from the ease and portability of the pocket cam. Hmm...

Its funny cuz this video is one of the best I've seen that show off the quality of video in both macro and normal mode and in full 1080p (and I don't think it was even intentional) LOL

Great job!!! ^_^

[TheConfessionMovie]

@EmoGamer Totally intentional ;)

Great footage. Have been on the fence about the Zi8 for a while; this clinched it for me. Thanks for the upload!

@TheConfessionMovie Thanks for the input dude, yeh might look at getting a windsock, I don't wanna splash out to much on a mic, mine was like £30.00-£45.00 from what I can remember. Either that or use the built in Mic at windy places whic h kinda sucks cos I live in Manchester where it's constantly windy lol. Thanks anyway mate.

Bought mine last year but not much use so far.

The unit itself has exceptional video.

If you think it's a 3000.00 Canon WTF.

@fdh1004 All depends on the PC, and how good your graphics card is!
