Why FPS drops time to time? Any performance issues in Zi8?
-
now I see this camera for 90 bucks looks like a godd deal. I can plug my H2 into it

did you use an extern mic?!

@jfkras Oh...yeah...im finding that out. Bit disappointed in the Low Light Scenario. Although its Awesome in daylight.
Apple ProRes codec? how?
I use VLC or KM PLayer to play the 720p vids. But they do have problems- lag, jerky etc...They dont play as smooth as they play on the camera... :S
Neway thanks for ur help!

Considering the low light Zi8 shots I have seen around, you did very well.
I guess that if you would have lighted the scene with a Sima light, that would have been very different and....... you would have got a ticket out of the bar at the same time. :-)
can you confirm this is 60FPS during low light?.. b/c my zi8 shoots 720p/60fps @ only 30FPS at low light.... during daylight, i can shoot at 60FPS!

This is not the best cam in low light. Were you using a tripod? In low light, you really want to optimize everything else you can. The video I got was fuzzy enough as it is. But it would have been totally unusable without a tripod. Any softness will be accentuated by the camera processor as the cam moves around. I locked it down on the tripod, and used an Apple ProRes codec, in order to keep everything as clean as possible.

Awesome footage. This really proves that this camera can do really well in poor light conditions. I have tried and compared, Sony Webbie HD, Flip Ultra HD, Samsung C10. But this one gives exceptional quality so far.. the others mentioned perform poorly compated to this one specially in low light.. I'm buying one of these soon :).

Well, it's no HD SLR, but for what it is, it's pretty impressive. And it's a form factor that you can always have with you. And the camera you have with you is always better than the much nicer camera at home.
