What do people say

First, and most importantly, the video (and audio) quality is exceptionally good for a camera in this price range. No, it won’t compare with a $1000+ camera – but it compares very well with Flip and the like. My initial video was made by following my four year old around the house as she explained things to me. Bright sunlight to dark hallways to lit rooms, close to and far from the camera, still and active. We recorded (at 720p/60fps) for ten minutes, then connected the Zi8 via the included HDMI cable to the TV and watched. I was quite impressed. I wouldn’t expect the Discovery Channel to use these to film the sequel to the Planet Earth series, but for recording kids, pets, outside events (I also recorded my dog running around the yard), etc., it does very well. Color fidelity is good, and the built-in audio had no perceived issues. Adding an external mic makes it even better (my daughters use one and attach a tripod so they can interview each other).

Video quality at all settings (WVGA, 720p, 720p 60fps, 1080p) is excellent in good lighting. Low light performance is very poor. I tested low light in a room with a 75 watt ceiling mounted fixture and a computer monitor casting light on a person a foot or so away. Noise was visible in the image. The tests I ran at lower lighting levels were essentially unusable for any practical purpose.
The unit will accept SDHC cards up to 32 GB. I used a much more affordable Class 6 16 GB card, which would accommodate 4 hours of 720p video.
Transferring video from the SDHC cards is a snap. You can also use the cleverly engineered USB connector. On first use, you have the option of installing the supplied Arcsoft software will allow you, among other things, to convert the Quicktime MOV files to other formats.
