Competitors to the Kodak Zi6?

[skypilot]

I'm looking for a HD pocket video cam for under $200, and from the reviews I've seen it looks like the Kodak Zi76 would be a good choice.

However, I know this model's at least a few months old and this technology is moving fast, so are there any other models of this type of camera out now which to a better job?

MinoHD is the only comparable camera atm I think. It's a bit over $200 though.

Here's a good review with comparison pics: http://www.macworld.com/article/136915/flipminohd.html

The Creative Vado HD is supposed to offer quality on par with (or better than) the MinoHD, and I think it costs about $200. Not sure on the specifics though since I haven't looked into it all that much.

Anyone have first-hand impressions of the Zi6 for day-to-day use? It will be mostly for capturing family events.
