 Good HD at a Good Price September 1, 2010
James M Munson (Portland, OR USA)
purchased this in advance of a Hawaii vacation. Filmed a friends wedding - they were "amazed" by the picture quality. Have also tried shooting under water in a swimming pool, again very good quality pictures. Strapped it to my motorcycle and shot some video at 60 MPH - smooth and again very good quality video - software easy easy to use. All videos shot thus far have been on the 720 - 60 fps setting would assume 1080 setting would be even better quality video although not as well suited for "action" shooting. Still pictures are very acceptable (5MP) and make good quality 5x7 prints. All-in-all best camera for the money I've owned - and I owned over a dozen digital cameras over the years.
 NOT waterproof August 31, 2010
LookOutBelow (San Diego)
My camera leaked in about 3 feet of pool water. I had all the access doors closed, and was not abusing the camera in any way. Kodak let me send it back to a repair center, they "repaired" it by repairing the flex circuit and CPU, and sent it back with a statement that they "witnessed from factors other than defects in materials or workmanship." Although this is crazy, since the camera does not perform as advertised to 10ft- I guess this statement is somewhat true, since the camera housing leaked, causing internal damage. The first time I tried to use this again (to film my 10 month old daughter in the swimming pool), the camera leaked again. I contacted Kodak customer service via online chat (no one answers the phone), and demanded that I get a new camera, but they told me that I (once again) have to send the camera in to the repair center, and they will determine what they will do. This is very frustrating, since not only am I missing video my daughter's first summer, but now I am at the mercy of Kodak customer service to decide if my camera is faulty or not.
Other than not performing as advertised, the camera isn't great HD quality, and the battery doesn't last that long. I bought it because I thought it would be waterproof, and the price was right. If you are really looking for a waterproof vid cam, save your 150 dollars to buy something more proven.

Kodak PlaySport (Zx3) HD Review Time! August 31, 2010
Orangekat
Believe this is the cheapest most portable awesome video camera ive ever seen!
Good things:
-It records very smooth on 720p 60 FPS, others are fine but not as smooth.
-Very Portable and durable(had in my pocket with keys and many things.. im a packrat...) it had very small scratches on it and still survives!
-Water recording, omfg just like..... turn the sound down a bit on the mic settings and its perfect lol it is very loud!
-Image stability, havent tested it... but it cuts out jagged edges within lots of movement in my videos(i cant notice it)
-Very good in adjusting the settings in bright areas to make it see what it needs :)
-Takes very awesome pictures at 5MP!
-Takes my 16GB SDHC class 6 memory card from my other camera!
Bad things:
-1080p&720p 60 fps take up the same space.
-1080p&720p @ 30fps seem slow compared to 60 fps.
-Water resistance needs to be upped so people can take it in the ocean!(just giving clues of what might be next on cheap camera lines)
-In darkened areas pictures and video are horrible(well really dark places like a haunted house related areas)
-Doesnt come with a SD/SDHC card! :(
