Not impressed
This review is from: Kodak Playsport Waterproof HD Pocket Video Camera - Adrenalin Rush - Purple (Electronics) I know you get what you pay for and this is a good bit of kit for the price BUT - as others have noted, there's an issue with the recharging of the camera. Once the initial charge is depleted, the camera won't recharge. The retailer (Office Heaven) didn't want to know (they have only a 7 day returns policy) and pointed me at Kodak. Kodak sent a replacement battery wh...

A rugged, waterproof Zi8.
The PlaySport is Kodak's 'upgrade' to the very successful Zi8 model.There are some differences between the two units, so decide carefully what you will be making videos of before making your purchase.The PlaySport is missing the macro function on the lense that can be found on the Zi8, basically, this allowed you to focus clearly on close up objects. Also missing is the 3.5mm stereo mic input. This was very usful if you were micing up an instrument and recording interviews. It also mean...

Kodak Playsport
This is a great pocket camera although editing/rendering the Apple .MOV files is not easy. The ARCSOFT software supplied does not work properly on Windows 7 and there seems to be little or no support from Arcsoft. If this is an example of Arcsofts software then I should steer well clear of it. Its a shame that such a good piece of kit is let down by the software. Kodak should have used a capture format other than Apple Quick Time and a software supplier other than Arcsoft. The camera is worthy o...

Kodak Playsport let down by lack of info about software.
So many days down the line, familiarity breeds content. If u just want a whip me out tiny box of tricks to record/snap life passing by so you can reminisce at your leisure, then this does deliver. Fits nicely into the top pocket and in seconds is operational and delivering as much, if not a lot more, as any happy daytripper would expect from such a compact unit. As yet I haven't been through all possibilities and so far on XP the accompanying software should deliver a basic movie, it does seem a...

Unable to charge battery.
Just received my playsport today. Took it out of the box and am unable to charge the battery. Just after checking reviews on amazon.com and this seems to be a known problem. Another known problem seems to be with the editing software but I am unable to verify this as the battery is flat!!! Not holding much hope of getting a new one as Kodaks policy seems to be that they want to repair the old one. Doesn't seem very fair for a product that is only a few hours old.

Playsport Vs Zx1 - Dissappointed
Just rec'd the camera for my daughters birthday, having had to buy the Zx1 (£47.99) 2 weeks previously because the release date was put back. Oh well, at least we would become familiar with the Kodak products.The Zx1 has been great, in all aspects:-1. Battery life and charger2. Ease of use, particularly with the HDMI cable provided for connection to the TV.3. Quality of picture (grainy in poor light), but great outside. 720p 60FPS4. Sound fine.Oh what a disappointment t...

a great Pocket HD camcorder
this is a great Camcorder.i have had one for a while now and after a lot of tests i can easliy say that this is the best. i have the kodak Zi8 and that is a good camcorder but the Playsport is a huge improvement on the Zi8.the pitures are clearer. the video quality is better and you can take this underwater for all those holiday shots.it has the same settings as the Zi8 but with a few more thrown in.there is the H2O setting for improved underwater video and a glare settin...

a recommended water proof HD camcorder with 5Mp camera.
Purchased this as I wanted a camera that would give me more fun with my boys who love swimming in the pool and beach when on holiday, all my pool shots tend to be from the side of the pool with the boys looking up, I wanted something that would give me more options and this seemed to be the perfect one.First the price was very good, I checked around and Amazon were much cheaper.I purchased the orange model which looks great, white front orange back. It does come in a range of colour ...

Kodak Playsport-What a Camera...
It is certainly the best 129.00 GBP I have ever invested in a camera.Having read the literature and spent many hours looking through reviews on youtube I became very interested in what the camera could offer.Well on opening the box you are amazed by the actual size of the unit... there is nothing on the internet that actually comes close to the real thing. It is no bigger than a typical mobile phone.... it is fairly light with enough weight to feel solid in your hand.The...
