Uses removable SDHC memory cards. Removable, rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery. Four shooting modes. 1080p top resolution. Image stabilization. External microphone jack. Includes composite and HDMI cables.
Bundled software isn't Mac compatible. Some video noise. Digital zoom only.
The Zi8 offers convenient flexibility and produces good-looking HD videos in an affordable package no bigger than a typical point-and-shoot. It definitely gives the Flip MinoHD (4 stars, Mar/09) a run for its money.Zi8...

Lighter, shorter, sleeker body than the previous models. Lithiumion battery (no more AAs) lasts more than an hour. HD enthusiasts will appreciate the difficulty of deciding between 720p (60fps) and 1080p (30fps). Audiophiles will love the mic jack. Showof
Red recording light is a stealthkiller. Digizoom is a reskiller. No included SD card is a buzzkiller. Plastic body shows every smudge. Unexceptional 5MP stills
