Pocket camcorders (aka mini cams or budget cams, or sometimes Flip cams after the pioneer of the category) are simple gadgets. They’ve got one job to do: Shoot watchable video, often for uploading to streaming video sites. They’re also very close to the end of their lifespan, with perhaps only a year or so left before smartphones make them obsolete, but right now they’re the easiest and cheapest way to take quick and dirty videos. I tested seven of these diminutive camcorders, or more accurately six camcorders and one capable PMP, in five categories: Outdoor, indoor, low light, macro and sound.

The criteria for judging fell mostly to smoothness of video during motion, image sharpness, noise and colour reproduction. Specs like storage capacity, screen size and battery life are mostly the same across the board, although overall, compared to last year, this crop of mini cams are faster and stronger with beefed up memory and HD sensors. All save the iPod Nano take 720p video (or better) and add HDMI ports and more memory to accommodate the higher-quality footage. Yet I wasn’t really all that thrilled with any of the camcorders — the bar for these cams is so low you could trip over it, and several of them actually did. Battery life was disappointing across the board, as none could break two hours of filming. Anyway, on to the results!

Results

Choosing between the Kodak Zi8, Flip Mino HD and Flip Ultra HD is tricky. The Zi8 is unreliable, but when it’s good it’s unbelievably good; the Mino HD is diminutive, solid and stylish, but overpriced and with lousy touch controls; and the Ultra HD is a reliably good shooter with a low price and the best controls of all, but physically unappealing (read: fat as hell). In my opinion, you should never judge a book by its obese cover, so the champion is… the Flip Ultra HD!

Flip Ultra HD: First Place

Flip’s Ultra HD is the best overall choice. It’s one of the cheapest cams around (at $US150, it’s $US70 less than it’s younger brother, the Mino HD), but it tied for the highest score in our lineup, and it features nice tactile controls that I much prefer to the sleeker Mino HD’s touch-sensitive exercise in frustration. Unfortunately, the Dom DeLuise HD is upsettingly fat — about twice as thick as the Mino HD, but even that doesn’t really get across how truly large it feels in the hand. It’s not particularly heavy, but it is by a long shot the thickest pocket cam here. On the plus side, that girth hides a useful battery — Flip includes a rechargeable pack, but the John Candy HD can also use two AA batteries, which is great since pocket cams have generally abysmal battery life (usually about an hour, though of course they’re often rated for double or triple that). Replaceable, cheap batteries are really nice, but some will have to decide whether the William Howard Taft HD’s girth is worth that feature. Given its price, I think it is.

Video quality is just fine, above average if not particularly impressive on every test, and it, like the Mino HD, is extremely user-friendly. Although that simplicity yields less flexibility and a barebones feature set compared to the Kodak Zi8, it’s a good distillation of the aims of pocket camcorders, and its 100 per cent tactile controls are a welcome change from the Mino HD. If you’re not superficial, it’s a very smart buy.

Flip Mino HD: Second Place

Flip’s Mino HD is the best-looking and best-feeling camcorder I tried. Its aluminium body feels solid and expensive, which might be because it is — at $US230, it’s the priciest camcorder I tested. But I wouldn’t be surprised if it sells the best, even though it’s not the greatest deal, because it looks (and is) simple, cute and functional. I won’t rehash my review, except to say that I hate those goddamn touch buttons more and more every time I use the Mino HD. They’re incredibly sensitive and I guarantee that you will accidentally trigger the playback function more times than you can count.

Besides that, it’s totally serviceable: It did well on all of my tests, it’s thoughtfully designed and stupid-easy to use. But it’s definitely overpriced, and I have a hard time recommending it over its physically awkward yet substantially cheaper older brother, the Ultra HD, just for its looks.

Kodak Zi8: Third Place

Wider and taller than the Flip Ultra HD, though not nearly as fat, the Zi8 packs a 1080p sensor and the largest and best screen of the bunch. The controls are easy and tactile and aside from flimsy-feeling plastic covers over the ports (one of mine already fell off), the hardware is high-quality. The Zi8 snagged the bronze medal, because while its highs were higher than either of the Flips, its lows were lower — and given how focused and simple this type of gadget is, reliability is worth more than flashing moments of greatness.

The Zi8 absolutely rocked in two of my tests, outdoor and macro, with perfect colour reproduction and excellent clarity, and it even takes pretty decent still photos (think point-and-shoot circa 2006 quality). But the conditions need to be just right to get the most out of this guy — I first tried it in 1080p mode (neither of the Flips can break 720p) and while picture quality was amazing, scenes with lots of motion were pretty jerky to the point of being distracting. But even in 720p, it was still head-and-shoulders above the competition — but only in outdoor and macro testing. In the indoor test it proved to have difficulty focusing on objects closer than 3m but farther than 0.5m away, and low light shooting was distinctly tinted red and a bit dark. It wasn’t unusable in any test (unlike the similarly uneven Creative Vado HD) and at $US180 it’s fairly priced, so I’d still recommend it — but you and I are likely to be more forgiving of the Zi8’s flaws than, say, your mum, who just wants a camera that works pretty well all the time. For her, go for a Flip.

The Rest

The Creative Vado HD scored pretty high, only a point lower than the bronze medallist Kodak Zi8, but while its design is fairly middle-of-the-road (albeit nice and teeny), its abilities were all over the place. It was one of the worst in standard daytime shooting (it has a hard time with sunlight, a serious problem for a pocket cam) and macro, but was the best at indoor, and while its low light video was a little dark, it was the clearest and smoothest of the lot. It also, likely due to Creative’s background in stellar-sounding PMPs and sound cards, boasts excellent sound quality. At $US150, it’s very fairly priced, but I can’t recommend a camcorder that mangles sunlight the way the Vado does.

Apple’s iPod Nano is the only “camcorder” in this roundup to peak at VGA resolution, and aside from a surprisingly strong macro performance, it shows. It turned vibrant colours dull and lifeless, washed out detail and made everything seem darker than it was. It can’t compete with the Zi8s and Flips of the world, but it’s still usable and incredibly priced at $US150/$180 for 8GB/16GB — if you’ve got a Nano already, you probably won’t need a dedicated cam. Convergence killed the video star, I guess.

The JVC Picsio GC-FM1 sucked. It’s spectacularly ugly (think Ed Hardy-inspired) and feels cheap with a confusing button layout (unforgivable in a pocket cam) and a high price ($US200, or $US178 at Amazon). Besides all that, it scored poorly in every one of our tests. Avoid.

And finally, the worst — Aiptek’s PenCam HD. I wanted to like it, I really did &mdash ;it’s got a tongue-depressor-like design and came with a sweet tripod that attaches to a bicycle’s handlebars — but it bombed in almost every one of my tests. The 1.1-inch screen is nearly unusable and battery life barely topped 40 minutes, so it’s definitely the loser here.

The ESP 3250 (above) is similar to the ESP 3, but for the same $US130 price point it adds a multifunction card reader and a 1.5-inch LCD (the ESP 3 has no display).

The ESP 5250 (pictured up at the top), which at $US170 is $US20 more than the ESP 5, adds Wi-Fi to the mix, a welcome new feature. It also keeps the ESP 5’s multifunction card reader and shrinks the display to a 2.4-incher.

These printers both use Kodacolor, a tech which Kodak claims reduces ink costs by up to $US110 a year. Without having tested them we can’t really tell, but Kodak’s ink sure is cheaper than competitors: A three-colour cartridge for either printer costs $US15 and black is $US10. Compare that to Canon’s ink, which is $US13 per colour and $US15 for black. If Kodak’s printers are efficient, that’ll mean a lot of money saved. [Kodak]

English musician, Keith Richards, was spotted wearing some post-industrial ornamentation in and around the region where a douchier man might stick a Bluetooth earpiece. There’s just no way that’s what this is. If you look closely, you can see right through it. But it got me to thinking: Not only would Keef not have a Bluetooth earpiece, he probably doesn’t even have a phone. When you’re that awesome, people just take calls for you.

People cruising through Yahoo on Firefox are being told to “Get the New Safer IE8″. Rather than naively assuming this to be the result of some kind of actual testing, TechCrunch points out that it could be part of Yahoo’s new coziness with Microsoft. The kicker: Last year, when a Yahoo under different management had a severe Microsoft allergy, it told IE users to switch to Firefox. [TechCrunch]

Kodak called its first Flip-class camera the Zi6, begging the question: Where are Zis 1 through 5? Now that it is being ripped for calling the follow-up Zi8 (hello, 7 shoulda been next), it is petitioning the world for help naming its products. If only other companies did this. Ever try to memorise Canon’s camcorder line? Or JVC’s for that matter? And what about Sony, who called its very first Walkman the TPS-L2 because “chicks dig alphanumerics”? [BBGadgets]

Gene Munster, the analyst known exclusively for Apple banter, says a new improved Apple TV is on its way, one that has an iTunes TV subscription service of $US30 to $US40 per month that lets the user see all the shows in the library. Quite possibly, this new device would receive a TV signal (perhaps through CableCard) and have DVR capability too. That first part is possible enough, but that latter half, the more interesting half, seems totally unlikely. DVR means a new UI and reliance on cable companies or OTA antennas, and I just
don’t see it. Certainly not in the middle of tablet fever.
But hey, I’m not an “analyst”. [Silicon Alley Insider]

Today, students were scheduled to gather in NYC to protest Nokia’s involvement in Iran’s cellular infrastructure, something that has apparently been the subject of a bunch of noise in Washington too. As others have pointed out, all governments require some form of tracking and wiretap access to wireless networks, and Nokia-Siemens is one of only a few companies in the world who build this gear. So yes, as problematic as it is that oppressive regimes (and even not so oppressive ones) snoop on their populace, Nokia’s role here seems to be the
same as a car company’s role in a drunk-driving
incident. [MobileCrunch and TG Daily]

The price: $US180

The verdict: Kodak’s first foray into pocket camcorders set them ahead of the pack, at least for a while—a trick they’ve pulled off again with the Zi8. They’ve stolen back the top spot not with video quality—though it is impressive—but with a few obvious features that, until now, hadn’t trickled down to this price point.

Click for gallery

First though, the core improvements: This Zi’s undergone a full hardware redesign which, once you peel the ugly, feature-touting sticker off the front, feels more modern, more solid, and more, well, designed than its lumpy predecessor. The screen is way, way sharper, which makes the whole camera, despite its similar interface and button layout, truly feel like a new piece of hardware. HDMI output works instantly and smoothly, and the microphone-in jack pulls concerts and noisy environments into the Things The Zi8 Can Do list. The hard, flip-out USB plug has been replaced with a rubberized flexible one, which makes life easier for situations where you don’t have much clearance on a USB port. Oh, and the battery—a Li-Ion slab replaces the old model’s rechargeable AAs.

The Zi8’s ballyhooed feature is its 30fps 1080p video recording, which, along with a new 5-megapixel photo option, joins the 720p (30fps and 60fps) and WVGA video modes of the Zi6. The added resolution is technically impressive, sure, but it’s also sort of excessive, and mostly unnoticeable. People have a hard enough time distinguishing between 1080p and 720p video when it’s professionally produced and displayed on a high-end screen; the Zi8 is still very much a pocket camera, meaning that the video isn’t quite crisp or vivid enough to gain much from the added pixels. Cameras like this are meant for uploading quality-sapping video sites—something the Windows-only software makes dead-simple—not Blu-ray discs.

That’s not to say the raw video quality is bad—far from it. It’s noticeably better than the Zi6, and a new, larger sensor boosts quality at all resolutions, especially in low light. Again, this is still a pocket camcorders, so expect some noise in dimmer situations. That said, the noise is subtle and tolerable, and a far sight less crappy than most of its direct competitors.

The reason the Zi8’s video really stands out is image stabilisation. This is a much bigger deal than it might sound, because it accomplishes something that might not be immediately obvious: it cuts down on shimmering—that queasy rippling effect you get whenever you move a cheap camcorder too quickly. It’s still there, but with less microtwitches and jitters, it’s way less apparent. In addition, the Zi6’s macro mode makes a reappearance on the Zi8, but it’ a lot more usable, since its field of focus has grown since the Zi6, which only gave you an inch or so of leeway before things got fuzzy. On top of it all, the Zi8’s lens is wider. Some people might miss the extra optical zoom a little bit, but I found the wider angle much easier to film with.

The photo mode is acceptable, but not at the level of even a entry-level point-and-shoot, and prone to blurry shots, since the record button is a little stiff, and you’re usually not holding the camera in an especially stable way. But in fitting with the ethos of this whole genre of device, it’ll usually do just fine.

The takeaway here is that the Zi8, though still firmly a budget camcorder in terms of both price and image quality, is a device you’ll be comfortable relying on in more situations than the old model, or for that matter, any other pocket cam on the market today. You’ll worry less about how well-lit your subjects are; about just how macro you want to go; about keeping your hand steady enough to make your footage not look like frantic mobile phone clip from a disaster scene; about how loud your surroundings will be. It’s not going to replace a real camcorder in all situations, nor is meant to—but for a lot of people, it’ll be more than good enough. At $US180, that’s nothing to smirk at.

Software is convenient, but not that powerful

The list of improvements continues: The Zi8 will shoot 5-megapixel stills, track faces of subjects and, according to Kodak, “see more details and accurate colours in low light.” Now that’s something we’re looking forward to seeing, especially since low light seems to be the biggest bane of these Flip-class cameras.

The Flip UltraHD, which isn’t half bad and sells for the same amount, only shoots 720p, has no removable storage, and only earned qualified praise from us.

By contrast, one big reason to have high hopes for the Zi8 is that we already loved its predecessor, the Zi6, though we weren’t terribly impressed with its cheaper weatherproof sibling, the Zx1. [Kodak]

Here’s Kodak’s teaser video for their new product. We’re not sure what it is, since the video’s laced with so much profanity, but here’s what we think the transcript actually says.

Steve: Are we…are we on?

Woman: Mmmhmmm, we’re on.

Steve: Um… *shrug* Hey everybody! It’s Steve Garfield from Steve Garfield dot com, and we’re in New York City. I’m taking a look at this new Kodak…um…what do you call it?

Woman: EasySchlong DX

Steve: EasySchlong DX! It’s the EasySchlong DX. And the coolest thing about it is that it has a semen reservoir. See that thing? This is what I’ve been waiting for is a…what do you call it?

Woman: EasySchlong

Steve: Fucking shitballs that has a cockslot because *swallows* a lot of the fake dicks would have very expensive, and this cocksucker’s gonna retail for how much?

Woman: Fucking 150 dollars!

Steve: Like holy shit! *Waves hands around* Like…when I have to recommend dildos to people we look at the…what is it called again?

Woman: Fuck you I told you three times already!

Steve: Hey bitch I don’t need that attitude. People love’m cause you can just put’m in your pocket. Right? And go out and forget about it. And I love that, cause you always want to have a dildo with you. And you might want to have a anal adaptor on it. So this is the most exciting thing right here, the fucking adaptor. Just like the Zune HD it has a wide taint. You know really good. People complain sometimes that they can’t see what they’re shitting in some of the smaller uh…what do you call it?

Woman: Fucking seriously, it was ten seconds ago I told you the name

Steve: What the fuck, I’m a guest! The smaller ones have little balls but this has a nice big sack. I like that. And also this other little part pops out. Lemme show you. Are you on still?

Woman: Yeah

Steve: Oh, I shut it off. This pops out like a little pussy pops out, and you can stick it on your dork, and have room for your other ones near by. Like on my fleshlight, I have things stuck in, and I want to stick this in, I have to like, figure out…I have a eight inch cock, which is dark, very dark, so this is a pretty good, um, enhancement. I like that. I guess you can carry it around like that too.

Woman: *Laughs*

Steve: And, uh, other good things. Here’s a fisting hole at the bottom. Love that. This looks like for a little charm bracelet thing, for a mobile phone.

Woman: The ladies will like that.

Steve: The ladies like it? So, um, Kodak motherfucker. That’s it.

I am a child. And I am bad at Madlibs.

The Zx1 also comes with a rechargeable NiMH battery and an HDMI cable. Personally, this jackass cannot wait to get his hands on one to test out. The Zx1 will hit shelves this month in black, red and pink.

[Kodak]
