KODAK PLAYSPORT Zx5 Pro Reviews

Sort:

itreviews‘s review Edit Like Unlike

Kodak has put some work into its new PlaySport Zx5, adding some welcome extra physical protection, improving underwater video quality, and adding macro and fun filters - as well as enhancing the control layout. The non-removable battery might be a slight issue for some users, though.

The PlaySport will probably not be used to make any award winning documentaries (or even a serviceable student film). But for its price it can't be beat as an adventure camcorder, and is more than acceptable as a pocket cam for less demanding users. Its video and image quality is on par with the rest of its class, and its superior build puts it above its competitors. I cannot recommend it unequivocally, but for users with the right needs (affordability, endurance) it is quite possibly the best camcorder around.

It’s hard to see what the Zx5 brings to the party that wasn’t already offered by the Zx3. Both 1920x1080 video capture and image stabilisation were already included, as was the shoot and share option. The Zx5 has a dedicated Share button and DIS (direct image stabilisation) plus support for face-recognition. This isn’t enough to make us fork out an extra £30 to £40 over the previous model .

The Kodak Playsport Zx5 is a fun little pocket HD video camera. Video quality is good for a camera of this size, and you can capture decent 5-megapixel images when needed. With a street price of $159.99 US, the Playsport is very easy on the pocketbook.

The Kodak Playsport Zx3 was already great value for a waterproof pocket Internet camcorder. The Zx5 is around £30 more than the current price for the Zx3, and although it doesn’t add much in the way of extra features, the improved shock rating makes it even more dependable for outdoor activities. The Zx5 can’t quite compete with its predecessor’s sub-£100 price, but we’d still recommend it if you want a camcorder you can take with you anywhere, come rain, shine or a rough ride.

If you want to record video outdoors, at the beach, or anywhere else there's water, the compact Kodak Playsport Zx5 Video Camera is a top pocket camcorder.
