I did a quick comparison shot between what is supposed to be a 5MP still shot ability of the Kodak Zi8 HD video camera and my old Canon S2 IS. The Canon is a 3MP camera. But it shows you how soft the Kodak makes still shots. It makes great HD footage when well lit. But there is no substitute for the right tool for the job. My old still camera with optical zoom is still a way better still shot camera.
I took this shot at sunset a few weeks ago. I was testing my iPhone camera while heading into Best Buy that is off to the left. Not a bad shot when the iPhone usually bites at low light shots.
