Have you seen any good examples of video from the Zi8?

Canon FS200. I think I got it for $200
Not from the Zi8- but from a lot of the camcorders I have been comparing it to. For the Zi8 am relying on reviews such as cnet and customer reviews, etc.

I think the Amazon reviews might have had a sample video or two. It seems the quality of all these types of cameras are about the same, just keep in mind what they are when comparing them to real HD and full size camcorders.
Other issue with the Zi8 is that the software is not necessaerily Mac compatable- or so the reviews suggest- something about not being able to edit stuff shot in HD on the Mac. We have both a PC and a Mac, but I am a complete newb at this stuff and want it as easy as possible- and preferably on the Mac. I have to actually read up on some of these issues and try to understand them before I act... or, I could just leap before I look as usual.

I was in Costco Sunday and saw they had the 8gb Flip Mino for $199 and the Ultra HD 8gb for $149(only had a handful left) both with the HDMI cable included. Those are about average prices for them, but they also have the 90 return if you don't like them.

Just bought the Zi8...a bit hard to find in the stores. Ended up spending about $200 total including a 4GB SDHC card.
Haven't done much with it yet but it seems decent so far.

I order the new Kodak ZX3 Playsport last week, will have any day now and will comment on it after I get some vids done with it this weekend.
