We shoot our internet series Momversation (www.momversation.com) with the Kodak
Zi6. We literally mailed the cameras to all our panelists along with a short
video we created about the product and how to use it.
For the most part it's worked great, however, we have been having problems
lately. The most common problem is that the camera shuts off unexpectedly, so
you could be taping a whole segment and not realize that the camera is no longer
recording.
But, overall, it's a great camera with easy plug and play features if you're
using a mac. The only thing I wish it had was a rotating viewfinder so you could
actually tell if you're in frame, if shooting yourself.

What about sound quality? The Flip's seem to do poorly in this area?
