Kodak PlaySport Zx5 Product Specs
The Kodak Zx5 is a second-generation version of the company's popular (and waterproof!) PlaySport camcorder. Instead of beefing up performance or features on the new model, Kodak decided to keep things simple and make small improvements—like cleaning up the menu system and adding a simplified "sharing" feature that makes it easier to upload your videos to YouTube.
The PlaySport Zx5 comes in blue, black, or red, and is available now at a retail price of $179.95.
