Kodak PlaySport Zx5 (black)

Pros: Great video capture in all resolutions but especially in 720p at 60fps and 1080p at 30fps. More an outside or high light cam. OK at night.

Battery life.

Comfortable and safe feel.

Simple and easy to use.

Fits in pocket, literally.

Price!

Cons: Picture quality only at 5MP, but better than any camera I've ever had and good enough for me.

Grainy video in low light, especially under low florescent light.

Fixed battery(Only an issue if 3 hours of video isn't enough for you at one time)

Summary: For $99 it can't be beat. Simple no-brain purchase if you're looking for a pocketcam.

As for underwater use I cannot say, I have never used it underwater yet and just to be safe when and if I do I'll be using it along with a waterproof underwater case.

Some motion blur in lower light. Focus issue which is easily corrected by holding it steady or changing the direction of the camera angle.

For 90% of the population this will be an acceptable cam.

I love it! When I want to make a movie I'll fork out and buy a $500 camcorder, until them this works perfect for me. I use it mainly for nature videos outside and well lit indoor activities.
