Kodak has released a new digital pocket camcorder that will record true HD video content in 1080p resolution. It is an obvious competitor of the Flip UltraHD. Kodak might easily over take Flip in this regard because the Zi8 gives the user 1080p for the same price as the Flip UltraHD that only gives 720p.
For those who are unfamiliar with digital pocket camcorders – these are like camera mobiles with the mobile part taken out of them. So what you get essentially is a small sized pocket device that has a screen and a camera. These are eminently portable and are also capable of HD quality stills and videos. Kodak is about it make the HD part of it a whole lot better.
The selling point this class of camcorders is really simple. These are essentially shrunken versions of larger camcorders that come cheaper and allow you to have a video device in your pocket that has all the handy featured of a camera mobile with much better quality.
