What size memory card/brand do you recommend for the Kodak Zi8?

Thanks,
Bret

im just having a little question ..it is concerning the quality of the still pictures since it is as important for me as shooting video ..
so may i have an idea about the 5MPX camera ?? the photos are resized so i cant judge well ..
also i want to ask if there is a flash or not ?

thanks again .

At 720 60fps it is really quite smooth… the 1080p is nice but it requires a smooth hand to pan just the right way but with a bit of experience it is easy. Overall this is the best pocket recorder I’ve seen by a large amount.

You are already doing 6fps better than motion pictures. Is it better in dark conditions? It sounds like the problem may be in the camera making the shutter speed faster than it should in bright light instead of adjusting the aperture.
