 Bottom Barrel Service History

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

This camera was the Bottom Of The Barrel's first venture into High Definition Video. This video camera can easily fit into a pocket this video camera was Kodak's answer to the Flip Video Camera but with a SDHC memory card extension slot which allowed any memory card up to 32 GB to be installed (For up to 8 hours in 720p HD). This video camera had necessitated the abrupt removal of the Mustek DV316L from Bottom Barrel service.

The camera had way better video and sound quality than the shitty Mustek cameras and was able to film in 1280x720 High Definition video at either 30 or 60 (Known as HD60) frames per second but it was able to film in 640x480 Standard Definition (I never filmed any videos in SD). This camera was also the most extensively used of all of the cameras in Bottom Barrel service.

This camera was relegated to secondary camera status around the end of 2013 but was still used to film videos until May 2014 when the camera stopped working and was removed from Bottom Barrel service. The camera has been retired to the "Official Bottom Of The Barrel Archives" where it will be kept intact.

The Kodak Zi6 served me long and served me well.
