Kodak Camcorders Reviews
Which should I buy, the Kodak Zi8, or the Flip Ultra HD?
I want a video camera for school video projects, as well as random video making with my friends. Which one would accomplish this better? My camera needs three things:
1) Good video quality
2) Excellent audio quality (I can’t stand listening to lots of white noise, this is probably the most important feature since both of these cameras seem to have comparable video quality)
3) Easy upload to Youtube, or computers in general.
They seem to be in the same price range, however, if there were a camcorder that would work way better for more money, please tell me. My budget is $300, but I don’t seem to see any camcorders in the $200-$300 range that haven’t gotten awful reviews. So tell me, Zi8, Flip, or another?
Thank you for your help! 
For quick video get the MinoHD. The Kodak Zi8 has quite a bit of hiss (you can plug in a external MIC to remove the hiss)
The MinoHD will do for most video so it’s my top choice for pocket cams. Regarding price, well you can buy a used one and save some money.

If you want some higher quality camcorder then check these ones, they are my top choices for the price range.

Notice the “used” prices and they are within your price range.
