My New Camera - Kodak Zi8



Gone of the days where I have to make my Youtube nerdery with a crappy, out of date, point and shoot camera. I've upgraded to something more modern, although still very affordable. The Kodak Zi8 blogger style camcorder is perfect for the casual Youtuber like myself. It can film in full HD 1080p, 720p 60fps for action video, 720p, standard def, and can also take photos as you can see (but not that well.) The main drawback is the lack of internal memory on board. You can virtually do nothing without picking up an SD card for the cam. I spent 30$ on an 8GB SDHD card specifically made for HD video. Add that to the 107$ I spent for the camera and I like to think I got great value for my money. New models of these blogger cameras have flip screens that allow you to see what you are filming if the lens is pointed toward you. This camera doesn't have this, it is a little limiting. No big deal though, it is light years ahead of what I was using before. Look forward to full hd videos on my Youtube channel soon, actually they are up now. Thanks for reading.

My poor, poor, neglected blog...

The CDNGAMER Video Game Blog is the latchkey kid of the blogggg o' sphere. It comes home from school to find an empty house. It grabs a can of coke from the fridge and makes a P&J sandwich to make up for the crappy lunch its parents gave it to bring to school. It then sits down and plays an unhealthy amount of CoD until Mommy and Daddy come home a few hours later. It then gets yelled at because its homework isn't done and room not cleaned. Daddy then yells at Mommy for not getting dinner on the table fast enough. Mommy cries. Daddy swears. The little Blog says fuck it and plays more CoD. Life as a latchkey blog is rough.
