FLIP Mino HD or KODAK Zi6?

[dylanbrown]

I know this question may have been posted around quite a lot, but here goes.

I am looking for a point-and-shoot HD video camera for YouTube and stuff like that.

I am tied between the FLIP Mino HD and the KODAK Zi6. The FLIP Mino HD is also not available in the UK yet, but what would you go for?

The FLIP's microphone also seems a little weak - do you agree?

Thanks for your help...

Andy Ihnatko did a comparison of the two cameras you are think of getting; Hope it helps.

I did see Chris Pirillos comparison, but if you were to get one, which one would you get?

I have the exact same question.
I'm kinda leaning towards the Kodak Zi6 at the moment. I've spent hours on youtube and vimo watching the HD vids and i think that the audio quality on the zi6 is far superior and the video quality is very similar on both cameras.

I also like the fact the the zi6 takes sdhc cards up to 32GB where as the mino hd only has 4GB built in.

Another plus for the Zi6 is the fact the it takes rechargable AA batteries.

The only thing that concerns me is i've heard reports that the battery's in the zi6 don't las long.
