PC World, comparing Kodak Zi 6 with MinoHD writes "One big difference between the Kodak Zi6 and the Flip MinoHD: Images on the Flip camcorder's small LCD are easily viewable in bright sunlight, while images on the Kodak screen get washed out. In fact, during sunny afternoon shoots, I found it difficult to frame compositions on the Kodak screen. Also, the Flip MinoHD is noticeably smaller and lighter than the Kodak Zi6."

Just hit record to capture the action, adventure and all the juicy details in stunning HD quality video. Make your cinematic debut on any HDTV.
