Pocket video cameras might eventually be killed off by the iPod horde, but that doesn’t mean that the current crop aren’t worth your time. The Kodak Zi6 HD is a nice little camera and Woot has a nice deal one ‘em today.
Amazon sells the pocket cam for $122, but if you can deal with a refurb, Woot has one for only $69.99. You even get your choice of black, pink, or red. The little camera can capture 720p video at 60 fps with 16:9 aspect ratio. All that media gets stored on a SD/SDHC card and you can get about 40 minutes to fit on a 2GB card. Don’t expect production quality video out of it, but we use these cameras all the time and they get the job done.
It sounds like a sweet deal until you do some research. Mono microphone?? 128Mb internal memory?? How costly could it have been to include a stereo mic (possibly 96/24 capable) and at least 2Gb internal memory.
Looks like Woot is trying to unload this crap before they get stuck with a bunch of paperweights.
