Still a favorite after all these years. 1080p, mic input, small lens opening means clip on wide angle and other lenses work fine. Does not have image stabilization, so a tripod or some form of stabilizer is a good idea, but for this size cameras those can be a bargain. They're near obsolete, with the world going 4K, but I still like them for multi-camera tabletop shoots. Yers, my iPhone does as decent a job or better, but I also have to use that as a phone (or a second camera). So they're nice to have around. They are also workhorses-- the Zi10 has more bells and whistles, but they tend to fail a bit more often. But if you're really using these things, they pay for themselves after a few minutes if you get a good deal. They use a regular tripod screw mount as well.

There are many things I like about this camera. First, I really like the size. It's no bigger than an Iphone5. It looks like it will fit in most car holders that are made for cell phones which would be very nice for cool camera angles while driving. I also like that is has an input for an external microphone, it has a convenient USB port (for transferring data to your computer and also for charging the unit). Lastly, I like that the focal length on the lens can adjusted for zooming in and out. You can also use it to take still pictures at 5 megapixels. Using this camera is a breeze. If you are doing short videos for Youtube, this camera is also very convenient. For all of the above reasons, I give it 5 stars!

As a senior and retired professional photographer, I never became engaged with camcorders. I purchased one Zi8 and found it to easily replace a bulkey 35mm style digital camera. So, I purchased three more as gifts, one for a friend who has been a pro photographer most of his life. He was amazed at the resolution, the capabilities, and size, to have available at anytime, anyplace. Recommend using a tripod for panning, and keeping video shots to no less than 15 seconds. Snapshot resolution and enlargement prints can equal moderately priced cameras.l

This is a great product from Kodak. Too bad they don't make them anymore. It shoots excellent HD video up to 1080p and even has an external microphone jack so you can plug in a hand mic or lapel mic, a feature most small video cameras don't have.
