Kodak’s New PlaySport Pocket Camcorder


I’ve done a few reviews on mini camcorders. I chose the Winner for that 2009 WWW Award for the “Best Mini Video Camera from the Year”, and guess what folks…it was a Kodak… The Zi8!

Today I’m here with you to review the latest and greatest from Kodak as there at it once once again. This time, Kodak take us down under as they make a big splash with its newest Video pocket Camera called the
PLAYSPORT Zx3
, and guess what folks…at a better price!

Kodak created the PLAYSPORT with adventure in mind and managed to bring exactly the same excellent functions in the Zi8 for example 1080p Hi-def Capture and electronic picture stabilization and then gave it an excellent look in the Colorful rugged water proof skin.

For all you outdoor junkies the Kodak PLAYSPORT has as large an appetite for adventure as you do. And it is not afraid to obtain wet! With this camera you’re not afraid to obtain in the boat, on the Skidoo, or take it towards the beach. This audacious small camera can plunge up to three m or 10 feet underwater and capture the whole experience of full 1080p Hd.

You do not require to be concerned about blurred footage when the surf’s up with that built in image stabilization; the Kodak PLAYSPORT will stay steady like a rock. From the top from the waves that, towards the slopes, towards the mud-soaked trails! This baby was created for extremes!

Do not let the sun ray and recording simply use the camera settings to turn about the LCD colour shield function which gives you two filters to choose in the best you see your subject on the display screen in a reflective outdoor situations. These filters are only applied towards the display screen, Mac your footage, so everything you recorded will look as great as the moment you shot it.

Not just is it cool looking it comes in three hot designer colors. Adrenaline rush (purple), a steel grey, and my favourite…deep ocean blue. It is extremely simple to use, fits in the palm of your hand and looks great at the same time.

It arrives with Loads SD memory cards in slot that you could expand as much as 32 GB. It arrives with HDMI cable within the box which means you can connect directly to your HDTV and a USB cable so we can directly open for your personal computer. It also arrives with lithium ion battery for many hours of fun.
