 CAN ANYONE HELP? August 21, 2010

I recently purchased the Kodak Zi6 after carefully reading reviews from several sources. Since this is my first camcorder purchase and use, I wanted something affordable, easy to use, and something that would produce decent videos since my use would mainly be personal.
The instructions are excellent--not technical and easy to follow, excellent diagrams, etc.
PROBLEM: The manual states that the AA Kodak batteries that were included would take 13 hours to charge. I put mine on the the charger (included with the package) around 6:00 p.m. last night and as of 7:30 p.m the next day, now, they are still charging!
**So that's 25.5 hours and still going strong!!**
Anyone have any suggestions? Should I try to contact Kodak or the company where I made the purchase to see if this is normal? I'm going to contact the place where I purchased it first, however, if anyone has any suggestions OR if anyone has had this experience, please let me know.
I read a couple of reviews that the batteries took too long to charge, but they never said HOW LONG!
So until this battery issue is resolved, I honestly cannot rate the product any higher. I believe I'll enjoy it once I get over this hurdle. Thanks.
A great, cheap alternative to Flip or Higher Kodaks May 31, 2010

I recently lost my Kodak 12 Megapixel Camera I owned, and I take many videos constantly, and finally ran in to some extra money to get a camcorder. With only a $100 budget, I went with the Kodak Zi6 for $60 off of craigslist. It had recieved positive reviews and decidedly was the right choice, and in that way it is. This camera is DEFINITELY portable- despite it's mild bulk (which I will talk about shortly), you can use it anywhere. Say your on the road all day, and your filming every second of it. You can interchange SD cards to store certain parts on and can record up to 10 HOURS of video on a 32GB SD Card- far more than any flash memory Flip or Vado camcorder has even come close to. It is also great that you can charge your main Kodak batteries, and at the same time use regular AA's. The quality of the camera is superb- 720p HD looks very good, and no Flip camera has the option of 60FPS, which makes things even better. The fact it can also take pictures is a relief too. The built in software is excellent too- easy uploads to Youtube! But of course I have my pet peevs about this camera. The still photo quality is terrible; even sub-par to my iPhone. Low lighting quality is horrible and winds are disasterous. Compared to about any other camcorder on the market, it is the bulkiest. But, aside of everything, my final thoughts:
Pros:
Small
Cheap
720P
HD Video Connection to TV
Ability to change Batteries and SD Cards up to 32GB
Built in Software
Still Pictures
Easy to use
60FPS Option
Cons:
Bulky
Terrible still shots
Terrible wind sounds
Horrible low lighting
Not the best quality
But, for far far less than any flip video is going to cost you, I give this camera a 4/5- not perfect, but for saving money, this is your camera.
 Very Nice! May 30, 2010

This is a very nice pocket camera. Saying that, you can't expect a lot more from it. It is very high quality and takes nice day to day video. It captures family events etc quite well. Although, the zoom is quite poor and it's not even worth using. The zoom is probably about 10mm, so this is clearly not a camera for sporting events. This is a fantastic camera for just videoing a vacation, family event, or trying to start up a YouTube channel. The quality is quite superb for its small size but it can get a little watercolory in the blazing sun. If things are blurry check the long side of the camera for the focus button it probably out of place (tyou just push it up or down for focusing on small objects or just a landscape). The battery life is fantastic and it's a great small size. I reccomend this!
