“For those special moments a Big Camera can’t be seen you need pocket HD”

Anyone Should be able to get some good Hidden in Store footage with the Vado its small and has a Wide lens that will help… The Wide Lens.. Lacking in the Flip Hurt Alot…!!!

I’ve looked at the Kodak Zi6… But the Colors are too Punchy, The lens is decently wide.. Sound is too Aggressive.. you hear every motor humm and the skin looks off… not good for Sexy Videos! And were all going to use it once or twice for some sort of Sexy Nude Video. It has a very good screen size 2.4″ and the external SDHC cards is a plus… on board memory is almost non existant 128 megs.

The MinoHD… Has better neutral colors and shadows, that you can punch up later and a microphone jack for better sound… but the screen is to small, battery life is only 1 hour. I would need 2 of these to be able to shoot outdoors… imagine your, shooting the perfect hot scene, and “NO MORE BATTERIES” that would suck!

So i’m waiting on the Vado HD, It has a Wide Lens…YAH… so you get more in the shot when closer to the subject, good screen size helps to see what your getting in the shot. 2 hours of battery time is excelent.
Also has 8 Gigs of internal memory. I’ve scene some vids of it online.. they look good but there’s no proof it came from the Vado.. it could have been recorded by anything or anyone… you need to see the setup to have the proof. The only down side is it doesn’t have 720p60 only 30 frames/sec. But then again the Zi6 which has 60 frames… automaticly switches to 15 frames per sec in low light.. not to smart.

Hope you all get one for X-Mas!

Image wise the Mino really looks much better to these eyes than the Kodak – unless you like the oversaturated, higher contrast look. (That’s what we used to complain about in film school – we dreamed for the contrast ratio of filmm but without the expense). I think it’s going to end up a personal taste thing…M. Benjamin has a real hodge-podge of colour temperature fixtures mixing in these shots. The Mino in the exterior buldings shot is clearly capturing more detail in the shadow – the Kodak looks like a silhouette.

Oh weel…I’m still waiting for someone to do some real camera tests – color chips, tone generators sweep, etc – rather than these helter skelter comparisons.
