Typical price: £130
What is it: Compact HD camcorder with SD expansion slot
What we think: Although it's technically HD, the Kodak Zi6 makes sacrifices along the way

We like:
Solid 720p video; comparatively large LCD; memory-card expansion slot
We don't like:
Insufficient onboard memory; no included memory card; can't recharge batteries via USB connector; included software isn't Mac compatible
CNET UK judgement:
While bigger than most of its competitors and high priced for a mini camcorder, the Kodak Zi6's attractive design and decent video quality adequately compensate for some usability drawbacks. Most notably, we wanted an optional memory card to make up for the mere 30MB of storage
