Kodak Playsport

Excellent video for its class; waterproof to 10 feet; HDMI cable included; very good sharing software.

No built-in USB connector; short battery life at highest resolution; no memory card; sharing software is Windows only.

REVIEW: Kodak PlaySport Takes Sexy Shots And A Beating

 

Can rivals get any more rugged that Kodak's Playsport Zx5? It's dustproof, waterproof and shockproof but how will it stand up to being treated rough?

Waterproof to 3m; Withstands drop from 1.5m; Full HD shooting ;

No built-in memory; Fixed battery; No backlight compensation setting

Consumer review (cnet.com)

"I dropped it off the Empire State Building and it broke"

 

Never buy it, especially if you plan to drop it from heights higher than 300 feet.

Poop, it's not durable.

It doesn't have a "picture taker"

Consumer review (cnet.com)

"Excellent for Amateur video shooters"

 

The Hanging issue wasn't solved permanently, until I "Cut" & "Paste" all the videos/Photos on the 4Gb memory Card (Also after several Hard rests)!!!

HD Quality Videos

For some "ODD" reason, It Hanged many times when I first bought it, and had to "rest" it many times
