 Great value with only 1 con July 31, 2010
Rhumb Runner
I really like this camera!
The only problem I found is that the literature does not indicate an auto-shutdown of 3 minutes of idle use, in order to save battery life(?). I had originally bought this camera to mount (in an unreachable place) and a remote control to operate it. As the remote control cannot turn the camera on or off, once the camera shuts down after the 3 minutes without use, one has to MANUALLY turn it back on. This is a real draw back if you want to use it remotely.
Zx3 Practical HD for family July 31, 2010
Bone (Kansas)
Prior to a Florida trip this year, I bought this already having an Zi8 so we would have video capabilities at the water parks, ocean. Very nice video quality outdoors in daylight is truly the HD quality I wanted. Should not expect that degree of quality indoors, in low light situations and will not likely find it even in more expensive camcorders. Picture quality is okay. I really have no use for the Zi8 as its more square design makes it a little less easily "pocketable" and square corners increase likelihood of damage in falls. Would not spend $1000 for a camcorder that might produce a marginally better quality.
 Excellent camera for water sports July 31, 2010
M. Dikov (East Bay, CA)
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R20IME4Y38UIAT I bought this camera to replace an older MiniDV camera. I wanted to have a low cost replacement that produces wide screen HD video and is suitable for water sports. Our family goes to the pool a lot. My son is on a swim team and the water proof part is a real benefit. I can make a movie of his swim meets, or dive for an underwater movie. Then he can see his performance and improve.
We also used the camera in outdoors swimming in a river. The still camera came in handy where no other camera can go. The quality of the video seems to be a bit below the FlipHD, however the materials are much better quality and the camera comes with all that's needed including HDMI cable. There is also a remote control for $10, which is really nice when you want to review the movies on the TV.
The format of the movies is MOV, which is a bit of a hassle. MPEG would've been better.
In low light the camera performs inconsistently, but meets my expectations. I bought the camera with an Amazon offer for a free 8GB memory card, so with that the price was comparable with Flips, but in addition you get water proof, 720p/60 frames video for faster action, cables, great kodak rechargeable battery high quality built unit, no cheap materials.
Great little camera July 29, 2010
Rita Stoufflet (Lewisville, TX United States)
This is exactly what I wanted in a camera and for the right price. I didn't want another large bulky camera to carry around since I won't give up my Nikon D5000 and that goes everywhere. The Kodak camera is great for just the short videos of the kids I want, I am not filming an entire family vacation. Though I put an 8 GB memory card in the camera and it will take over 2 hours of video. I have never really used a video camera and having an image stabilizer was important to me so my shaky filming wouldn't make me sick, it works great.
The only two things I don't like so much - the battery life isn't that great so you have to be careful to make sure it is charged if there is something important to film. I plan on getting another to have on hand. The second thing is that filming close up isn't that easy cause you can't zoom out very far. But other than those two things I love this little video camera and the fact that I can take it around water is great since my Nikon isn't going anywhere near water.
GREAT HD VIDEO FOR UNIVERSAL STUDIOS (Flip HD Killer!) July 28, 2010

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R32PTFSM7PEYF9 After spending several days researching HD cameras I decided on the Playsport and for the most part I was not disappointed. I won't bore you with a long review but rather point out what I found to be most important. I used this camera for a week in Orlando Florida at Universal Studios Islands of Adventure, Universal Studios, and Wet N Wild. I bought a neck lanyard and was good to go.
POSITIVES
1. Very Very light and Compact, fits in small pockets. A+
2. Very Very easy to use controls and buttons. A+
3. Video quality is amazing. I primarily used 780p 60 Frames Second setting A+
4. Purchased a 16 GB Card and was able to record up to 3 hours 780P video. Over 6 hours standard video A+
5. Software was easy to install and use.
6. Good still picture quality, face recognition, OK zoom, and image stabilization. A-
7. Comes with an HDMI cable!
8. WATERPROOF, although was having to constantly un-fog the lens A-
NEGATIVES
1. Average battery life. BUY AN EXTRA BATTERY! I ran out of battery after 6 hours in Universal Studios with only moderate use. C+
2. Low light video and still pictures are poor quality C+. (This is not a huge drawback because I planned to mainly use this outdoors)
3. Does not come with an SD card.
