(What's this?)

Length:: 6:30 Mins

In the video I have sample footage, close-up, underwater and more. The underwater footage was shot late in the day, and it was overcast - it still came out great. I also covering how to correctly open the doors (very easy), features and more.

One thing I forgot to point out - no tripod mounting thread.

This review is from: Kodak PlayFull Waterproof Video Camera (White) (Electronics)

This camera is great. i did alot of comparison to the kodak Playful vs the Kodak playful original and its brothers the sport z3 and z5. The kodak playful ze2 (the product I'm reviewing) is excellent for theme parks, water parks, etc. Good on the go camera because i don't want to have to worry about dropping my regular camera or phone while this can take a 5ft drop and 10ft of waterproof. the original playful is not waterproof or drop proof. Now as far as video quality, this shoots 720 when the orignal playful shoots 1080. I hooked them both up to my tv and see no difference. As far as the sports they have a much brighter picture and smooth video as to where the playfulls are choppy if you move them too fast. Overall this camera is awesome and I have no complaints. love the hdmi and sd card slot. camera is lightweight and small. not as thin as i thought but still good. battery life is excellent, about 10 hrs.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Video Camera with minor issue But you get what you pay for., November 30, 2011

just got this Video camera today.

what I like

Surprisingly small and compact easy to hold
nice design
great battery life.
720p is good enough. better than dvd quality.
Takes Photos! but it's like 1.0 megapixel not bad still.
takes SD card! so you can switch out cards like a video cassette
Front camera is protected from a "raised frame" to prevent you from scratching the lens..if you put and pull out of your pocket or purse.

now I am a big believer of "you get what you pay for" so there are some things I like to point out

1) usb is short and takes some time "flipping" it out. it has a 1 inch usb plug which is too short and can get in the way of other subs ...but of course you can get an extension usb cable.
2) no auto focus. and no micro . (of course if you pay more for a higher end camera.) So say you want to take a video of something small and up close...it's going to be blurry.
3) video can lose a frame or two..a bit choppy if you move around a lot.. so if you use it for sports it won't be smooth.
4) no tripod mount.

for waterproof purposes. I haven't really tried it. I'll update later. But for now the price is great
