For the last year or more we have used the Kodak Zi8 for recording our videos for our websites, events, speaking engagements AND family memories. LOVE IT! We also added a ZOOM H1 Digital Recorder for Enhanced Audio.
Zoom H1 Pak Portable Digital Recorder
The best Add On to date for my Kodak Zi8 camera has been this Digital Audio Recorder Bundle. The Zoom H1 Pak has great distance, volume and just really makes a HUGE difference in the sound quality in our audios.
