Hey folks, thinking about purchasing the Kodak Zi8 and get back on the vlogging horse. It can apparently take a SDHC card of up to 32GB.
My question is, how much recording time do I get out of that at: - 1080p, 30fps? - 720p, 60fps? - 720p, 30fps? - WVGA, 30fps? CNET says "We calculated that when you record video at the highest level (1080p), you eat up anywhere from around 110 to 150MB per minute, depending upon video content, or about 14 to 18 minutes of video on a typical 2GB card. (Kodak quotes 20 minutes per gigabyte, but that's for 720p.) Similar to most competitors, videos are encoded as generally compatible QuickTime MPEG-4 MOV files, using H.264 compression." However, my googling gave me wildly varying estimates. What gives? I also looked at the material at www.kodak.com/go/zi8support but could not find anything of value.
