Hi everyone! I tried turning on my Kodak Playsport today and it refused to start up. The on/off switch won’t even glow. Every once in awhile it will attempt to charge but I have been messing with it all day and so far nothing. This is really disappointing because I have had this camera for over a year. I bought it last March and made a review video on it. I was one of the first 100 Kodak Playsport customers and the camera has been great with no problems until now. Let me know what you think and hopefully I can get this issue sorted out in the near future. -CrazyiPodReviewer

www.amazon.com The good: Excellent video for its class; waterproof to 10 feet; HDMI cable included; very good sharing software. The bad: No built-in USB connector; short battery life at highest resolution; no memory card; sharing software is Windows only. The bottom line: The Kodak Playsport is an excellent minicamcorder that can take some rough treatment and capture solid HD video. The Kodak Playsport, also known as the Zx3, is the evolution of Kodak’s Zx1. While that model was weather-resistant, the Playsport is waterproof, able to record underwater down to 9.8 feet. There are other improvements, too, that make it a more capable pocket video camera–in and out of the water. For its price there’s little to complain about, but if you’re after specific shooting abilities or features you’ll want to keep reading. However, if your main concerns are an inexpensive HD pocket video camera that can handle a day at the pool, a hike in the woods, or some time in inclement weather, the Playsport is highly recommended.

Comparison of the Sony ECM-DS70P fake mic against the Kodak Zi8 internal, and Audio Technica ATR 3350 mics. Which one sounds the best? You decide…You can have a look at this video, www.youtube.com It will show you how to tell the difference between the fake Sony and the real one.
After having done a quick video test for the Kodak Zi8, I decided to do something which would focus more on its audio recording capabilities. I also wanted to test the Zoom H4n, a portable flash recorded I recently purchased so, here I am, killing two birds with one stone. I setup the Kodak Zi8 about 5 feet from the sound source, which is an upright piano that’s me noodling on it. The Zi8 is mounted on a tripod. About 15 feet away from the piano, I’ve setup the Zoom H4n recorder. This unit has an XY stereo microphone built into it. It also has the ability to record two inputs, in the form of XLR or 1/4-inch. So, we’ll be hearing the built in XY microphone on the unit as well as a pair of AKG 414s which I positioned above the piano, pointing into the open lid. “Kodak Zi8 Internal Microphone” Here we hear the internal microphone on the Zi8. Mono, a bit noisy and perhaps a little too close to the piano to capture a clean sound. In any case, this does the trick for capturing an idea, but definitely doesn’t cut it if you’re looking for high-quality audio. “Zoom H4n XY Microphone” Here the stereo image opens up suddenly. This XY microphone which is built into the unit is capturing a very natural, coincident stereo sound. It’s a very reflective room, so you hear that, as the microphone is about 15 feet from the sound source. “Zoom H4n Pair AKG 414s” Here we’re hearing the pair of AKG 414 microphones pointing into the piano. Because the microphones are very close to the sound …
