Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Kodak Zi6 HD Pocket Video Camera
Customer Review: Overall, I like it a lot...one inconvenience, though
Summary: 4 Stars
I just got this camera, and really do like it. Opinions seem to vary on this, but I actually do like the fact that you can just drop in two easily-available AA batteries to power it. I hate and detest gadgets that use some sort of rare, esoteric battery type that isn't readily available everywhere. You can use rechargeable AA batteries if you wish, and it actually comes with a couple of them (pre-charged) and a recharger. For me, though, the whole idea of a tiny little camera is to have it with you for instant use when an unforeseen opportunity presents itself. With rechargeables, you have to plan ahead for when it'll be used by constantly having a pair of charged batteries on hand....and it takes many hours to charge them.
The one thing I dislike about this camera so far is that USB plug that pops out. Maybe it's perfect for a laptop computer, but on desktop computers you wind up having to plug it in the USB slot somewhere on the computer's case or on the monitor, and it's just being held suspended in the air by that little plug, and gravity is pulling the camera down and trying to bend that plug and its socket, which doesn't seem like a very good idea as it puts strain on those delicate parts. I find I either have to hold the camera in place, or use a piece of tape or something to hold it there. Ridiculous. I tried getting around this problem with a USB extension cord, but for some reason the camera didn't seem to like this, and it remained unrecognized by the computer. Same thing happened when I plugged it into a USB hub. When I relented, and plugged the camera directly into the socket again, it again recognized it. Why? Who knows? The pop-out plug seemed to me like a neat idea....until I actually tried it out and encountered the practical problems with it.
By the way, the built-in memory is almost useless. You get about 30 seconds of video with it, and no more. For the camera to be of any practical use, you HAVE to get a memory card. I got an 8 gigabyte card, and it's extremely easy to install. You just plug it in, and there's an illustration in the instruction booklet to show where, and how the card should be oriented when inserting it.
