Those who do a lot outdoors should slow down and take note of the features of the Kodak PlaySport Zx5 HD Waterproof Pocket Video Camera. This is a video camera that can survive some rough treatment, even being exposed to water, so it’s ideal for outdoor types. We found too many things to talk about with the PlaySport, so we chose some items to review that will give you a good idea about it.

One thing that does not seem to have gone out of style is sharing everything on Facebook and the like, and you can do that with the PlaySport. If you have a lot of friends around the world, then you could email them your videos with one button click using this camera. What is also really great is you can choose from many places to do this. You can set it up so that your videos are shared the moment you connect your camera to your computer; the whole process of sharing videos can be automated. Kodak does what many camera makers do which is improve and update, and that is basically what the PlaySport Zx5 represents.

When it comes to the resolution of video, there are multiple settings to choose from. If you have a long video at the greatest resolution of 1080 pixels, then that may very well be a lot to send to somebody. If you want a video to watch on your HDTV, high resolution is great, but at other times you might prefer to save space on your memory card. If file size is problematic, then you may want to use the WVGA setting which will make it all much smaller with file size. Even though you can have a higher resolution which is a real hog, you can tone things down and then shoot for more general conditions which will be easier to deal with.

Yes, this is a tough design that is targeted to people who love to spend a lot of time doing things outside and in the wilderness, etc. There are design specs such as being able to take immersion in ten feet of water, etc.

Not recommended for scuba diving, it will survive getting a little wet during a thunderstorm. So no, underwater photography is not what this was meant to do, and just do not try it because you will ruin the camera. We do not know what more to say about that other than make every effort to keep it dry.

You will find a very well built camera in the Kodak PlaySport Zx5 HD Waterproof Pocket Video Camera. Keep in mind this is not meant for anything on the pro level of video taking, but you will be happy with it. We like to think about the PlaySport as the video camera for the everyday person, and that is what Kodak had in mind. This camera may well help you to win a photography campaign. Practice hard to get the best results!
