Review Of Kodak Playsport

Kodak Playsport is rugged and durable made for sporty people. There are a lot of compact cameras with wide zooming, advance modes and other features available in the market. But this small wonder, Kodak Playsport is different from all the others as it offers you an option of waterproof photography! One who goes for scuba diving but not deeper than 10 feet can take this camera and go. Also, you can take it while you are going on skiing, trekking or boating. This feature of waterproof body is hardly seen in any of the small cameras available in the market. With sleek and compact design this camcorder will surely win your mind. Black, blue and purple three colors will add zeal in its look. One touch push button will offer recording option at a single touch.

Look and feel:

Beautiful color and glossy body of this camcorder will definitely make you buy this product. You will get black, blue and purple colors in it. It weighs just around 128 g and its dimension is 58×112.5×19.5 mm. It is not just small but also ultra compact. It will easy fit in your pocket. It is just like your mobile phone in weight and in size too. It is a menu-less gadget as all you want can be found on its front panel. Hence, anyone can operate it easily. 2.7 inch LCD screen is wide enough and you can watch your video or still image with full clarity.

Performance:

Kodak Playsport is having 5 mega pixel cameras in it. Still images are shot at 5 mega pixel and videos are recorded at 1080p with high definition. Image stabilization is also good as it is always kept in mind while making this camcorder that this product is for players. Electronic image stabilization is designed in it so as to capture clear shot while it is in motion. One more feature of face tracking will improve its quality for video or image in motion. Un-blur image is captured with excellent quality. It is a rough and tough gadget that can handle fall from few feet. I will suggest you to handle it carefully as you have paid for it. Moreover, the water proof quality enables you to take different underwater snaps

Connectivity:

There is no USB in-built port for in it but you will get number of HDMI cables with it. These will help upload the photographs in your computer. You can also upload video on you tube. Platform on which it will work is WINDOW XP.SP2, VISTA and WINDOW 7. Format used for recording a video is H.264 and is easily compatible with the other software’s in your computer. You can even add memory to 32GB as memory card slots are provided.

Battery life:

Battery life is not good but it is rechargeable you can also carry one extra battery. Battery will be provided with battery adapter.

Cost:

With all accessories in box Kodak play sport will cost you around $150. This is affordable.

Bottom line:

Though there are some drawbacks like no built-in USB connector and short battery life, Kodak Playsport is a sporty buy for the underwater photographers.
