Shoot Tools: Kodak

Bundled Arcsoft video-editing software can upload content to video-sharing sites. Price: $180

Sure, you might not have the patience to use it for creating your next low-budget feature, but the latest generation of cheap, HD-capable camcorders might do the trick for web presentations. Kodak's Zi6 HD pocket videocamera, for example, shoots 720p video at 60fps with a 16:9 aspect ratio — although you won't mistake the results as something from a Sony or Panasonic unit. The camera — powered by a pair of AA batteries — includes a 2.4in. LCD viewfinder, and it can switch between VGA video, 30fps HD, and 60fps HD.
