Kodak Zi6

-

Creative Vado HD

Well at first glance they seem to be similar. I know creative from past uses, and they have proved reliable as well as aesthetic and functional. The Kodak seems about the same, maybe a bit bigger, but the downside and upside is the SD Cards. You can expand it to more, and carry extras, at a ridiculous cost. The Creative cannot be expanded, and is only 8 gigs, but that is about 8 hours.

Conclusion: Kodak is better if you want more than 32 gigs and are willing to pay. Creative if you dont mind the 8 gig limitation.

Hope i helped you out. Let us know how it works for you.

Ummm that sound illegal :p

Quite a difficult one to be honest

i would like to say the Kodak as my 1st choice however it does lake a few things that the creative cam has to offer
however if you filpside what i just said then you'll see the the creative also lacks what some of what the kodac has to offer

i would say you need to look at it via the usage factor

Kodak for profesional use or creative for the fun factor

Creative has always looked nice, but if the Kodak has removable batteries, then that would be my choice. Though the SD cards would piddle me off..

If you can avoid it don't use the EasyShare software...
There are better Free alternatives and it's about as easy to get rid of as a Norton product.

Yeah the Creative software sucks, but the products are great. :)
Oh and the Kodak picture software just sucks all around. Worse than the creative stuff.
