Kodak Playsport Zx3 HD Waterproof Video Camera Review

The Kodak Playsport Zx3 HD waterproof pocket video camera is a great camera for vacations, and even spending time at home. This camera does have many benefits, but it also has some features which may not be suitable for every consumer.

One of the greatest things about this camera is its size. It can easily fit in your pocket and will not weigh you down. The small size allows for easy portability. Some technical features that the camera includes are:

- Full 1080p HD video- this is great and provides wonderful clarity as long as the scene you are capturing is also clear.

- Electronic image stabilization- this is another great feature because you don't have to worry about being perfectly still when you are using the camera.

- 2.0 inch color display- this easily allows you to see what you are filming, so you can capture the right scenes.

- You are able to capture 5 megapixel HD still pictures- this is a nice feature if you only want a picture instead of a video.

- It is waterproof up to 10 ft. - this is nice, but is not good if you are trying to capture more professional images or video.

Overall, this is a great camera, and it is even better for the price of $149.The quality is really nice, but with many electronic devices, you might have to change the settings a bit depending on the situation you are in. For example, this camera works best in well lit areas. Any type of added light will allow you to get better clarity. The sound quality is very good. It is able to pick up background noises, as well as those that are closer. If you are looking for a camera to clearly records sounds that are very far away, this is not the best fit for you. It does work well underwater, and you don't get a muffled sound from the water like you do with many cameras. The waterproof maximum depth of 10 feet may be a hindrance to some people, so it is best for those who are not trying to make professional videos. The waterproof feature is also great if you are spending time on the beach because you do not have to worry about accidental splashing like you would with a traditional camera. Water parks and amusement parks are also good settings for this camera.

This Kodak camera is very user friendly and is simple to use. For those who adapt easily to technology, you probably will not have to read instructions. The instructions are helpful if you do need more help figuring out how to film or take pictures.

One other thing to consider before purchasing this camera is how you would like to store your images and videos. You will need to buy an SDHC memory card to go with the camera, but you can decide on the amount of storage you will need.

Overall, this is a great camera for the price. It is easy to use, and provides quality results. It is also available in black, purple and blue, so you can pick the color that you prefer. If you plan to frequently use the camera, you may also want to consider purchasing a storage case to protect it.
