Nice review of the Zi8, Sean. I especially like the pic Tony took. But I hope you won’t mind a couple of corrections.

1. The mic adapter you pointed to in the link will not work for the mics since it is the wrong gender. Here is a link to one that works, and it costs less too: http://www.zzounds.com/item–HOSXVM49

2. The max capacity of the SDHC card is 32 Gb, not 16.

Thanks for recommending buying one of these cams, good buddy. It came in handy at my son’s wedding.

Dave it does have the same problem especially with really fast pans. Slow pans not so much. You notice it a lot when you walking with the camera and holding it in your hand. Everything seems wobbly. In the next week or so I’ll be putting up a post with some video we did with 3 Zi8′s. But I’ll do a special post to show the pan effects and how to get around.

I’m looking for a replacement for my flip mino HD and like your Kodak Zi8. My concern is how does the image look when you pan. When I pan the flip it looks terrible. I usually use it for casting and for location scouting but sometimes I’ll use it for a third or fourth camera.

Good podcast. Sometime this week I read on a blog somewhere that the terms “stereotype” and “cliche” come from the days of typesetting. Not 100% sure if it’s accurate.

Typesetters, to save time for common phrases and slogans, would create a block of letters to spell out phrase, so they wouldn’t have to set each letter each time for printing. They called that a stereotype. And, once the phrase became so over used and they called it cliche, because that’s the sound it made when it hit the trash can.

I believe the blog post set typesetter encouraged such phrases because it made their jobs easier.

I thought of that when you played the clip from the movie during the podcast. I think we are predisposed to a good slogan. Maybe a little too predisposed.
