For starers I think this will do HD in MPEG-4 instead of MOV, which I guess is more web friendly. Still, Zi8 looks like a good choice. I’m wating for the Creative Vado HD 3G to hit UK shores.

So it scores heavily on ease of use for taking videos and editing. I've got a Zi8 and it saves in quicktime, and Windows Movie Maker doesn't like quicktime at all. The software that comes with the Zi8 is ok, but not great. Worse still, all the other models of Flip's use the .h264 codec, which WIndows Movie Maker doesn't like, so you can't recommend them for the Joe Public kind of use.

I have a Zi6 and I'm trying to buy 2 additional Zi8's right now and most everyone online is sold out. Excellent review.
