Some test footage I recorded on a Kodak Zi12 camera last year. The Zi12 has excellent video quality, good image stabilization, very good low light sensitivity, an external stereo microphone jack, and a 240 fps slow-motion mode. But I decided not to keep the Zi12, because you have to hold it sideways to take video with the correct aspect ratio, and it doesn't have enough finger grip area to hold it comfortably without accidentally pressing buttons and switches, making it awkward to handle. It has a flash for taking still photos, but no LED video light, and the built-in microphone is only mono.
