CNET gives Kodak Zi8 Pocket Cam high marks

This is the pocket cam that NerdBoyTV uses. Very nice HD 1080 video capability. Used it at the 2011 SAP Tennis Open in San Jose and got some very nice clips of Pete Sampras playing an exhibition match. A little thicker than most other pocket cams, but it's definitely a keeper. Retails for a couple hundred, but I found a perfectly good refurbished one on ebay for $96 (out the door with no tax and no shipping fee). Can't really beat THAT!

Review: Kodak Zi8 HD pocket video camera

Review: Kodak Zi8 HD pocket video camera

"When I wanted a pocket video camera and started researching them a couple of months ago the #1 feature I looked for was HD video recording quality. After looking at everything offered on the market I focused on one device, the Kodak Zi8. My first impression after first opening the box was that it was a bit bulkier than other pocket camcorders I have seen people carry around. Still the Zi8 fits in my pocket. I have not been disappointed after the purchase but I do think the technology on some of the features can be improved. I will explain in my review below.

DXG to offer $600 3D Pocket Camcorder

DXG to offer $600 3D Pocket Camcorder - Yahoo! News: "With 3D movies gaining acceptance and 3D HDTVs on the market, it was only a matter of time before a 3D camcorder for the masses hit the market. DXG hopes to be at the forefront of the 3D camcorder trend with its $600 DXG-5D7V 3D Pocket Camcorder.

The DXG-5D7V creates an anaglyph image inside the camcorder by shooting with a pair of lenses. The camcorder’s 3.25-inch display has a parallax overlay so you to see the DXG-5D7V’s 3D video without special glasses.

The DXG-5D7V is also capable of shooting 2D video. However, all video (3D and 2D) is shot at 640 by 480 resolution—the camcorder does not shoot high-definition video.

To watch the DXG-5D7V’s 3D video outside of the camcorder, DXG includes in a bundle its 3D Media Player, a 7-inch TFT display with a parallax overlay; no special glasses are required. The 3D Media Player looks like a digital picture frame, with control keys on the right side of its bezel. The 3D Media Player also has speakers and includes a remote control.
