| The Bottom Line | A very good pocket camcorder that, in a pinch, can double as a decent snapshot camera. | With the Zi8, Kodak finally surpasses Flip Video's video quality and feature set. | While it's more expensive than its sub-$600 competitors, the Canon Vixia HF20 and Vixia HF200 deliver a more extensive feature set for the extra money. The HF200, which lacks internal memory, is probably a better buy than the HF20, though the HF20's all-black body is a bit classier looking. | A very good pocket camcorder that, in a pinch, can double as a decent snapshot camera. With a higher-resolution LCD and a video light, the Optura 500 is a better bet, though. | |
