An excellent budget HD camera, 2008-12-29
This little beauty is a pocket sized HD video camera suitable for everyday use. It makes bulky cameras a thing of the past and is so simple to use that even I can use it!

The image quality of the HD footage is remarkable for a device at this price. Outdoor and well lit environments look absolutely stunning, but much darker environments will be quite grainy (so make sure that when shooting in these environments you provide some kind of decent light source).

SDHC support up to 32Gb means no more knackered tapes and is quick to get started recording and reviewing recorded material on the device. Getting the video of the device is simplicity itself - on Macs (and PCs, I believe) these are presented as external drives and one only needs to copy or move the files from the device to your hard drive. All recordings are stored in the efficient H.264 video codec within a MOV container.

That said, the Kodak Zi6 is not going to be for absolutely everyone. To get the very best of out the device may require some post-production work.

The biggest issue for most people is going to be the lack of an image stabilizer. This was omitted to keep costs down, but in my humble opinion is not entirely a bad thing. This at least guarantees that the quality of video shot is top class. How stable the shot is depends on you. There are several ways of getting around this. For starters the Zi6 has a tripod mount which will fit any standard tripod fitting. As the Zi6 records in H.264 MOV format, footage can be brought into editing and FX packages and there are plenty of software available that can take of fixing stabilization issues.

As a Mac user, I use iMovie 7 (part of iLife 08) which manages the shot footage just fine. I use it to produce non-HD but high-quality widescreen videos suitable for YouTube when I want to both HD and non-HD material. PC users are catered for with software that's bundled with the camera.

Switching between macro and non-macro mode is easy enough, but if one wants to get in real close you'll have to stop recording, flick a switch, then start recording again. The switch is situated in an awkward place to be able to do it while filming at the same time. But this is no problem - just stop recording, flick the switch, start recording again and join everything together in your preferred video editing package.

I'd highly recommend getting a USB extender cable because trying to fit this device on a Macbook is a little crazy when you have a mouse plugged into the other USB port.

I like the inclusion of the soft cover carrying bag which also acts a decent lens wipe too when you accidentally put your fingers over the lens (although I still carry proper lens cleaning cloths to be safe).

The little joystick operates just fine, even with my sausage fingers as do the buttons that sit next to it.

The inclusion of the battery charger is well thought out along with two rechargeable AA batteries, and the fact the device can take regular standard AA batteries as well is excellent.

Kodak are onto a winner here and with a bit of practice and some post-production skills, you too and produce excellent high-definition home videos at a price that's just right.

Kodak M1020 10" Digital Multimedia Photo Frame

Great!, 2008-11-15
I have an older version of this frame myself and purchased this for someone in their 80's as a present. Have plugged in flash drive to usb port and love the quality of the photos , new slideshow features etc. including random slideshow. The touch screen bit works well and once set up and set to a timed slideshow won't need to be messed about with by the owner anyway. Scanned images from pre-digital days display well and I am confident it will be a very well received xmas gift. The most negative review of the product appears to reflect nothing about this frame but everything about the purchaser's annoyance with amazon - not really relevant. Frame is fabby - very happy to give it 5 *****

Kodak G200 Photo Paper Kit for G610 Printer Dock - 200 sheet

Very Misleading Advert, 2008-04-01
This states G200 pack of 2 which would lead you to believe it was a pack of 2 G200. However, on receipt it is 2 x 100 and this is not explained in the discription. Especially as you can buy a G200 for £10 cheaper than this which is why I thought it was 2 x G200. Buyer Beware of misleading advert!
