"Still, the camera is hampered by its cheap approach to processing and compressing the footage it's taking in. We'd say the iPhone 3GS--despite its limitations--is besting most cheap pocket camcorders on this front, including [this one/the Kodak Zi8]; motion just looks more fluid on the iPhone."

Unless he really meant to say Kodak Zi8. Then I'd have said

The flaw being that they naively think everybody, or the majority at least, of readers also have iphones, well guess what? They do not, seriously, not bashing apple, they don't, polls amongst techcrowds and salesfigures show it.

Sounded like I could hear that high pitched wining of the lcd light over the built in condenser.

BTW the Sennheiser G2 series is the best wireless system I have ever used (use one for my bass rig).

$180 is a nice price point and if I were better at making movies (I don't even do that on my G1 although I could with cupcake on it... although the video wouldn't look nearly this sharp) I would go for it.]]>Aug 4th 2009 5:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/kodak-zi8-impressions-surprising-functionality-but-its-still/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/kodak-zi8-impressions-surprising-functionality-but-its-still/]]>Aug 4th 2009 6:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/kodak-zi8-impressions-surprising-functionality-but-its-still/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/kodak-zi8-impressions-surprising-functionality-but-its-still/

And whats with the "we're shooting at 1080P, I hope you can appreciate that", when youtube only allows for 720P and they embedded a video that is much smaller than 720P (click the link and go to "HD" and see the proper size).
