Bottom line
The Samsung HMX-W200 might be a little less impressive than its specs, but it's still a very good rugged minicamcorder for the money.
The Kodak Playsport is an excellent minicamcorder that can take some rough treatment and capture solid HD video.
As rugged minicamcorders go, the Panasonic HM-TA20 is very good and definitely deserves consideration.
The rugged Kodak PlaySport Zx5 is a very good minicamcorder, but falls just shy of improving on last year's model, despite being more durable.
