"For travel, this is currently the ONE"
Pros: With the SD card slot and its ability to use both rechargeable or standard swappable batteries, this beats the Mino hands down for traveling. With enough SD cards, you can go indefinitely without having to take a laptop along. NO HAULING A LAPTOP.
Cons: I wish it had a slightly wider angle lens, to make hand held shots more smooth. It is bigger and heavier than the Mino, but freedom from computer connections and recharging trumps all that.
Summary: If all you're going to do is shoot short shots, close to your laptop, and maybe upload them to YouTube, maybe the littler Mino is right for you. But for travel and freedom from computer connections, the ZI-6 is the one. All the reviews say the picture quality is mostly similar, with a slight edge to the Kodak.
All the reviews I've seen that favor the Mino seem to forget there's ever a need to be disconnected and distant from your computer.
For decent final results on hand held shots with either the Kodak or the Mino, be sure to use editing software that features image stabilization, like Premier or the latest iMovie.

What size and speed SDHC card do you use? I am traveling to Italy next month and want one that is large enough and provides the smoothest video. I won't have my computer with me. Email is sprovo@apr.com
Thanks,
