It's truly an awesome little Video camera On 2012

I recommend thoroughly rinsing it and drying it with a towel, and then opening up both sets of access flaps to dry completely.

There are sharing funtions on the camera that I did not use and turned off in the settings menu. I don't Youtube or Facebook so I did not explore these features.

When unloading the photos and videos, unfortunately you cannot just remove the memory card and put that into the card reader in your computer. You must use the ZX5 to unload them. Hook up the ZX5 to your computer with the USB cable and turn it on. When the computer detects it, it will want to install software. You DO NOT have to install the ZX5 software to unload your photos/videos. Just open up the ZX5 from "My Computer" like you would a USB memory stick and copy/paste your photos/videos over. It's much simpler to do that than to deal with the software.

I also do not recommend using the on-camera video editing feature. For videos that are long, the trim feature will start to lock up on you. Offload the video onto your computer and use other video editing software to do any trimming or splicing. Short video clips won't have this problem.

Inside the box, there is an offer for a free HDMI cable if you send in a registration card. Not everyone has HDMI on their TV or computer, so I can understand why they don't include one already.

Final thoughts: it is a great camcorder for the money. It is extremely compact, shoots terrific video (underwater or on land), and does a half-decent job as a regular camera. For those of you complaining about the photo quality, understand that you are using a $120 camera. Go get a thousand dollar DSLR if you want excellent pictures. This camera is perfect for those of you who want to take it on vacation or camping with the chance that you'll be getting wet. Remember my tip to take a ziplock bag of freshwater if you plan to go swimming in saltwater!

Best PocketCam on the market , Hand On 2012

Many also do not like the "fixed" battery. I love it. Sure it would be nice to be able to switch out batteries when needed, but being this camera and it's battery can film at 720p at 60 frames for hours, I did almost 4 hours on and off, mostly on, before mine went low to where I needed to plug in it. A little planning doesn't hurt. But if your main issue with this camera is you can't film enough with the battery life given, you need to by a professional camcorder already.

Again, the two biggest negatives I have seem from legit buyers is the smaller sensor and the fixed battery. These to me are NON-ISSUES and had ZERO factor in me deciding my purchase.

Another negative I see is that it freezes during filming, this was due to old firmware and the latest update fixes this issue. I never had the issue, but a friend with a ZX5 did and she did the update and it never froze again. Anyone buying a new ZX5 after August doesn't really even need to worry about the update. If you look closely at the 1 and 2 star reviews, most of them complain about this issue and if you notice the last complaint was many months ago. The issue is fixed so it's a MOOT issue. The ZX5 does not deserve so many 1 and 2 star ratings. A good percentage of these folks are giving bad reviews because they needed a professional camcorder and were too cheap to go buy one.

Going over the upgrades again, the focus range is much improved, the macro feature is GOLD, records in .MP4 which is THEE standard currently and a huge improvement over the .mov files on the ZX3, indestructible, feels very comfortable and natural in hand, for $100 what more do you want?

If you're debating between other pocketcams just end that debate and go with the ZX5.

If you're debating between a pocketcam and a regular or professional camcorder, all you really need to know is what you plan on using the cam for. For 90% of the populations need, the Kodak ZX5 meets and exceeds those needs.

I will be buying two of these from Amazon for Xmas gifts.

NOTE: Don't skimp on a the SDHC card, get the class 10. I buy Fuji but it's the only brand I've ever used so I can't comment on the other cheaper brands. Even the Sony cards have had issues, but to each their own.

Kodak PlaySport Zx5 HD Waterproof Video Camera Best Price 2012

I got this a few days ago and have played with it a lot. I have a 2yr old grandson, so I have a lot to film.. :-) After reading some reviews I was not sure if I should get this, but I have had a lot of good experiences with Kokak, point and shoot and the Zi8, I decieded to give it a go and I am glad I did. I think some people are being overly critical of the device in regards to quality of the HD. Some others I think just have got a bad unit and they should just return it and try it again (the ones with freezing and screen issues.) Now, if it does crap out on me in a few weeks, that's another issue, but I am going to remain positive and just base this review on honest expectations and experience.

I have owned a number of camera's including a Panasonic DVX100 prosumer camera that I use for short films. So quality is important to me. That said, the video quality for the camera is quite good for what it is. And what it is, is a small, point and shoot HD cameara with a small sensor. So outside shots are going to look great, indoor, depending on lighting, you are going to get artifacts. To expect anything any different from this level of camera is foolish. If you want low level light without grain then spend a couple of grand at least...it's all about the sensor size when it comes to low light, any of these small camera's are going to have issues, use the grain to your advantage, get creative and have fun or shell out bucks.

Also on the video quality I have noticed that the type of monitor matters as well and your viewing distance. If you get up close and on some monitors it does look a bit grainy even in good lighting, but if you use HDMI and a good tv and view it at a "normal" viewing distance the video looks very good, better than I thought it would actually.

I have had no issues with audio/video syncing and I have shot in every way I can 720, 720-60 and 1080, no issues with playback but I have a pretty powerful PC, editing the 1080 video is a pain, I have to convert it first but that is to be expected, editing HD, and I mean truely editing it, not just cuting it, takes up a lot of CPU power and you need a really good PC or Mac for that. But I bought this camera to take quick clips and upload them to youtube and my website, not make a movie with it.

Best Deals On HD Waterproof Pocket Video Camera

fourth, the battery is not swappable unlike the zx3, so if you like carrying multiple batteries around for convenience, that's not possible. That sucks because with the zx3 the battery isnt all to expensive and you would carry around one or two extra ones in your bag for backup. For the Zx5, the battery has to be charged again until you can use it which will take a couple hours. For one charge, recording in 720p 64 FPS, i managed 137 minuutes which isnt all to bad, but that means when i go out for travel, i will need to bring the charger and charge at night, a bit of an annoyance, however, i am used to apple products being like this, and i have a usb charger in my car so its not a deal breaker for me.

last, all the recorded video files are in .mp4 format instead of the previous .mov format, .mp4 is much more compatible with more programs and easier to edit (as i was so generously reminded by another reviewer). All the files are stored on the HC (high capacity) SD card, i have a 32 GB card in it right now so i can hold up to 10 hours of recording, not bad.

Don't be surprised if HDMI cables and other related accessories arnt there as you will have to pay S&H for kodak to ship one to you.

The other thing I found is, besides with its waterproof condition, Kodak announces this new model will be shockproof and dustproof too. The previous generation playsport only offered waterproofing up to 10 ft, but i guess if its waterproof, naturally, it should be dust proof too right?

Overall, this is a great combination of HD recording filled with editing, social networking, and weatherproofing features.

I bought these to help my little brother record his golf swing, i use the 720 64 FPS setting, which helps address parts of his swing that he is doing incorrectly, its no high speed camera, but its nice that such an affordable camcorder will suffice. I can pause at certain parts, and the swing will clearly stop with only little blur, 32 FPS cameras would skip some portions of the swing as there are not enough shots per second to capture many nuances of a fast golf swing.

Kodak PlaySport (Zx5) For Sale 2012

I also considered buying the Flip UltraHD, but its image sensor is even smaller. It is 1/4.5. The Sony Bloggie was a good contender with its sensor being 1/2.5, and it takes better quality still photos, but it's not waterproof and it also has the internal battery issue. You're not going to find a perfect, pocket sized camera with all the features you want, and all for under $200. So, essentially, you have to decide which features are most important to you, and which features you are going to sacrifice.


Overall, this is a pretty good camcorder and is filled with tons of good features, but I think it's really too bad that Kodak made those changes with the sensor and the battery. Otherwise, this really would have been an awesome little camcorder. Despite those 2 big negatives, I bought this camera anyway (instead of the Zx3). (I really wanted the macro mode and mp4 format). If most of your filming will be in low-light situations I wouldn't recommend this camera. It's good if most of your filming will be outdoors or in bright light.

If you do decide to get this camcorder, or any camcorder that uses SD/SDHC cards for that matter, be sure you get a fast card (a Class 6 or higher). A slow card can cause problems when recording.

Also, the HDMI cable is not included with the Zx5. They will send you one if you pay shipping & handling ($6.50). The other problem that people may not know of is that if you happen to own the Zx3 and already have an HDMI cable and think you can use it on this camera then think again. You're out of luck. The Zx5 uses a smaller cable. It uses the micro HDMI cable (type D).

I did a lot of research before buying this camera and still had a hard time choosing. Hopefully this review will be helpful to you.


(((I had to compress the uploaded video because of Amazon's file size limitation. The original is better quality.))) I don't feel this camera is as bad as what some of the negative reviews imply. Sure, I shot some video that was horrible and really grainy, but I was in really low-light and I was moving too fast. I got much better results after slowing down. And filming in really bright light gave great results. What I really love about this camera is that I can get really close to my subject. I was only about 10 to 15 inches away from the birds in the uploaded video. (You can't get closer than 39" with the Zx3).

Also, my HDMI cable arrived today from Kodak so I was finally able to watch my videos on my 55" TV and I have to admit the picture quality was quite good. (so good that I'm changing my review to 4 stars). I actually seemed to get the best results from the 720p recordings. The biggest challenge is low-light. The lower the light levels, the more obvious the graininess is.

Excellent snowblower for this 2012 winters

I finally caved in and picked up a snowblower during the harsh 2010 MN winter. I'm happy to say it handled the snow like a champ, my back couldn't be happier.

A couple of tips for potential buyers:

1) Make sure to go out and use the blower BEFORE you get 8-10 inches of snow. We got pummeled with over a foot of snow, and I waited until it was all over before going out. The snow was deeper than the blower, making it difficult to clear the driveway.

2) Trust me that the power cord is not that big of a deal. I was worried about it getting in the way and being a hassle. The first couple times you use the blower you'll probably need to be extra aware of the cord, but after that you'll get your routine down.

3) Try your best to clean out the "gears" where the blower rotates after you're finished using the blower. I've had snow freeze in the mechanism several times making it hard to rotate the blower.

Again, it is an excellent machine, don't hesitate to pick it up! I purchased this machine after my gas powered blowe finally died. Tired of fighting to get the gas versions started I decided to give the electric a try. This is a great little machine with a lot more power than expected. I live in New England where we've had 6+ feet of snow and it handles up to a foot a ta time very well. Starts right up everytime and the lever power button work great, I had a power shovel and it was impossible to hold the button and use it at the same time. It was fairly easy to put together, be sure to look carefully through the packing for all for all of the small parts.

A few tips from prevoius reviewers, and now that I've used the machine. I tried coating the inside and blade with WD40, by far the best tip I've ever gotten, works beautifully. Also someone said the nut on the long screw to shoot gets lost, they are correct and I was glad I picked up a few extra when the machine came.

Short term usage but great so far Electric Snow Thrower

I bought the unit on the strength of the reviews here and the 4 year warranty. I've used it for a month now, about 5 times and am pleased with it. It is light in weight, which is good for maneuverability but you do need to keep it angled correctly to get the lip against with the pavement and get a clean pickup.
It does great on fresh snow and that's the time to take care of the driveway. In fact, the more snow there is, the farther it throws it. It is too light to do anything about ice on the driveway unless you've broken it up.

It does a good job in paved sidewalks and driveways, but I can see where the plastic lip might catch on a crack and chip if you forced it. I considered fastening a thin metal strip along the bottom, but decided against it and I haven't had a problem.

One fellow complained of the snow getting into the gear that rotates the chute and freezing there. I haven't had that problem either but you could take a piece of rubber sheet, say from a drainboard mat, cut a hole to fit around the chute and allow it to move as you turn the chute and it would keep the show out of that little pocket.

The one problem I did have was the nut that holds handle on the chute-turning rod was not a lock-nut and it came off and got lost. I put two nuts on to make them stay. You could also use loktite.

I thought the electric cord might be a hassle, and it is a little, but it beats trying to start a gas engine at 0 degrees. Start near where you've got it plugged in and work away from that, blowing snow in one direction. At this time the device seems quality enough as its first test was a pretty big one. If I encounter any issues with it that lower my rating I will be sure to come back and alter it but for now I could not be happier with my purchase (I know I've only used it once but even for the price I paid it made the one use very worthwhile vs 2+ hours of shoveling heavy wet snow at 7pm at night.

The device has a metal auger/blade set which adds to the quality and made this all possible, many I've seen in stores seemed to have plastic ones which no doubt would have broken soon after with this last snowfall. But don't hesitate if you are thinking this isn't enough for you, just be sure to get a good outdoor extension cord at the proper gauge and amps so it carries the signal and the device works at full throttle!
