    I want to get a small camcorder for taking on holidays. I've been looking at the Kodak Zi8 and its on sale at Amazon for 114 Sterling. If I buy from Amazon is there any duty to pay on top of that? If anyone knows where I could get it even cheaper, or could recommend any other small camcorder please let me know! Thanks!

    Welcome to boards :)

    No you wont be charged duty from Amazon uk for most items. Some are not sold from amazon uk itself, so some of them could incur charges

    Look for YouTube footage and criticism of the Kodak Zi8, there's dreadful artifacting when you pan a shot, fine for stationary views, but if you're waving the camera this way and that, it becomes very very obvious.

    Just a heads up.

    Other than that, the Kodak Zi8 has some unique features for that form factor, such as a mic in.
