Cool reference camera - Kodak PlaySport


Product Features

* Waterproof up to 10 ft. (3 m)
* Full 1080p HD video
* Electronic image stabilization
* Brilliant 2.0 in. color display
* Capture 5 megapixel HD stills (16:9)

Catch the highlights with slow motion playback right in the palm of your hand (60fps).


This seems to be a cool all-rounder reference taking camera. Waterproof and slow-motion capability? That covers a lot of reference types. :)

But there are quite a few negative comments on Amazon. Does anybody out there have experience with this camera?

There is a 2nd Generation version out as well, slightly more expensive.

Hey JD this camera looks great, lots of good stuff on Vimeo about it. Here's a couple German guys that did a comparison. Maybe you can tell us what they're saying. :)
Seems like the Playsport is better for detail but the other one (Zi8) has better color.

They were pretty funny. Didn't say much though, mostly goofing around, let the images speak for themselves. I like the slow-mo on it.

Thanks for the link!
