I recently bought the Kodak Zi8 mini HD camcorder for use when recording my show for gamerdads.co.uk-the Retrocast, and also for use as a “Guerilla Filmmaking” HD cam at gaming expos where I have to interview various people and don’t have space for a full sized camera and crew.

The main selling point for me on this camera is the fact that it is one of the only HD mini camcorders that has a “Microphone In” jack-perfect for me for the uses described above! 🙂

In this test-I also found that as well as microphones, you could plug anything you like into the camera and it will pick up and record at a decent sound quality-there are other videos on YouTube showing Electronic Drums plugged into the Zi8, so I thought I’d try my electro-acoustic guitar… these are the results…
