Took it on a cruise and had a blast using it in the pool and during a down pour. Light weight, easy to use, and overall, great product.
As a negative, the "zoom" is electronic and thus degrades the image somewhat.
Earlier this summer, the Kodak PlaySport pocket-sized HD camcorder made its debut. While it is the cusp of autumn in most parts of the country, the review of this waterproof video cam should still come in handy.
SET-UP
Setting up the camera is less cumbersome than just sorting out everything that comes in the box. That’s not a complaint; rather the PlaySport comes with a lot included. As you can see below, the camcorder comes along with an 8GB Class 6 SDHC card, a USB power cord, AV cables, a rechargeable Lithium-ion battery, an HDMI cable and a handy camera strap.
For starters, you’ll have to charge the battery right away, but this should be a given with most portable gadgets. When it is fully charged, all you have to do is insert the battery and SDHC card, hit the power button on the top right side and you’re on your way.
If you’re planning on taping some underwater action, make sure the panels for the memory card and ports on both sides are solidly locked.
