5.0 out of 5 stars BUy the refurb it is better, May 21, 2009

By	C. Hobbs "GuyAtTech" (The Grand Strand) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I recommend this camera, especially the refurb model because Kodak has fixed the light buzzing problem in the sound about a third of these cameras have brand new. The video is astounding for the price and super easy to use. Again the refurb in this case is better then brand new as Kodak has had a chance to tweak the mic. Be advised you should still upgrade the firmware for even better picture. Kodaks website provides this and instructions on how to do it. Camera is so good and such a great deal I am not even going to complain about the laziness of Kodak not flashing the refurb with the new firmware. However, Kodak should have done this rather then relying on its customers to update it themselves. That being said. This is the best hundred bucks you can spend HANDS DOWN!

4.0 out of 5 stars Greeat portable HD video cam for the price., June 15, 2009

By	Mauvis Ledford - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I regularly shoot with a Nikon D90 (which also shoots 720p video) but needed a smaller device that was more portable for random events and going out with friends. I found this device almost perfect - especially for the price.

I did a lot of research on whether to get this unit or a Flip and after watching a lot of Vimeo videos decided that the color saturation and sound (especially the sound) on this unit was far superior. The only horrible downside is for low-light situations.

This unit doesn't actually drop frames like many people assume - it actually lowers the shutter speed to something like 1/10th of a second so everything appears like floating ghosts (if no one is moving in your shot and your hands are steady then it pretty much looks ok.) Why the engineers at Kodak decided to do this instead of upping the "digital ISO" (which would in turn up the graininess) is beyond me. Everyone would rather have grainier video in this situation than blurry ones. It's a no brainer Kodak.

Low light aside, you can get this unit used or refurbished for about a hundred clams. That's cheap. In most situations this camera shoots HD equivalent to my 1K D90 (and with superior stereo audio to boot) and that's nothing to scoff at!

Only problem was it come with old driver. I need to download the new driver. Once I did that, no problem at all. Great quality movies. Very easy to use. simple and value for the money.
