Though the Zi6 seems to be part of an overall strategy by Kodak to prove that its no longer a stodgy, old film-based company but an energetic, multi-media, digital imaging company, the message to Flip Video was clear. Instead of Sony, Panasonic, JVC etc., venerable point-and-shoot camera manufacturer Kodak announced this summer that it would introduce the Zi6 pocket video camera in early Fall. The first major company to weigh in with a potential Flip Video challenger was somewhat unexpected though. With so much attention going to such a small product, it was only a matter of time before the big boys would want a piece of the burgeoning pocket video camera market. Soon after, Flip Video camcorders were everywhere, it seemed.
