"Very impressed!!!"
Pros: Almost everything.
Cons: Screen is a little hard to see when facing into the sun. Batteries could last longer (carry along extras).
Summary: This is a great little camera! It's easy to use, takes fantastic video and plays back on my HDTV really well. I use it on the 60fps mode which makes for a clear and smooth video. Since I don't have a high-end computer and graphics card, the video isn't the greatest but very acceptable, nonetheless.
Not much of a zoom.
Low-pixel stills (use your reg. digital camera)
Grainy video in low light (very common with camcorders)
I can get a lot of video on a 8GB SDHC. I used it for about an hour yesterday (54 clips) and it used just over 1 GB (on it's highest setting...720p, 60fps aka "HD60").
I can honestly say that I didn't think this camera would be this great. I bought it on a whim, thinking I'd probably return it. This is a keeper! Leave it to good-ole-Kodak to come up with a fine product at a great price. I own a Kodak still digital camera and its photos are way better in quality and color compared to Panasonic. I have also seen Panasonic's camera/camcorder (DMC-TZ5) and it's not that great because it doesn't film at 60fps.
Don't worry about the Zi6 not having image stabilization. In no time at all, you'll learn how to hold the camera steady. I use two hands and pan slowly...no problems.
And to think I was about to spend hundreds of dollars and ended up spending only $150! And it comes with everything you need (except the SD card). There's no need to purchase additional "normal" accessories.
I highly recommend this HD camcorder!

Do I need a class 4 or class 6 SDHC 8GB card? Would the video be smoother on the faster class 6? I just ordered the zi6 and need to order the sdhc cards next!
