Flip Mino HD vs. Kodak Zi6
by Michael HoffmanMonday, November 17th, 2008
The Flip camera that we love, that revolutionized low-cost video cameras with the web in mind, has competition. The form factor has been copied and if you go to the store you can find other camera that look a lot like it.
The Kodak Zi6 is one such camera. It’s a little larger, but it seems to shoot better video than the new Flip MinoHD.
The Kodak Zi6 is selling for $179.99 on Amazon and it’s HD. The Flip MinoHD is $229 on Amazon.
Here’s a nice comparison of the video quality.

If I cross my eyes just right, its in 3D!
Kidding aside, the Zi6 looks sharper in that video, and has more “correct” white balance. I wonder if there would be a difference if you started them both up on the same white card and let the auto white balance (I’m assuming) adjust under identical conditions. The Flip looks like it isn’t compensating well for the presence of fluorescent light.
