Adding to its pocket video camera line, Kodak is announcing the Zi8 Pocket Video Camera. The Zi8 shoots in full HD 1080p with electronic image stabilization and smart face tracking. It also doubles as a 5 MP 16:9 still camera. The Zi8, like its little brother the Zi6, has one-button recording. Storage is SD/SDHC card-based and will accept cards up to 32 GB – so you are in full control of memory. If you are a podcaster or semi-professional videographer , you should like the addition of an external microphone jack and on-camera video editing. The Zi8 will be available in a variety of colors and will go on sale in September 2009 for $179.95 MSRP.

Looks like they ripped off the FLiP. LOOKS. Now the features look like they differ greatly.
I am pretty sure, that those cameras are the next big hit: Small, HD, Affordable, Video. Glad to see one more manufacturer next to Creative and and the FlipHD thing.
