Kodak Playsport Zx3 Review
Need a good hd camera for water sport. This is the review of the best series class on the camera. The Kodak Playsport Zx3 is a high definition pocket camcorder that records 1920 x 1080p video in the H.264 arrangement at 30 frames for each second.. it have 1/2.5-inch CMOS image sensor. This is TOP 10 Best Selling Waterproof Camera and also become the one of the Most Requested Camera.
Intended for models in its course, it wasn't anything that will put you off the camcorder.. Unlike many pocket camcorders, the Kodak Playsport Zx3 camera function produces some decent stills, provided you're holding the camcorder fairly steady and have good available light (no flash).
Under the Sea
The Playsport is waterproof to a depth of 10 feet with a nice rubberized grip which gives it a sturdy feel in your hand. You can't lay it against a brick stratum (were you so aslant), but it can definitely defeat the occasional blow and bruise. To enhance its underwater capabilities, the camera has an underwater mode, which you can turn on and off in the menu. Under the fluorescent lighting of my fish tank, the Playsport footage took on a yellowish cast when set to the H20 mode. You can compare normal underwater pictures here to H20 method shots here..
KODAK Zx3 Highlights :
Simple Design
The Kodak Zx3 is sharply styled and sturdily built. You'll have your choice of four colors: purple, blue, black and black bundle. Like all pocket video cameras, the Playsport keeps the features and functions to a minimum, which in turn keeps the external controls to a minimum. The back of the unit has a four-way controller with a white record button in the center. You use the wheel to engage the 4x digital zoom, or to switch between video and still shooting modes.
The wheel itself is not super-responsive, occasionally I had to hit it more than once. There are also buttons for entering back into video mode, playback, trash and a menu button. The Playsport is built to go beneath the waves, so while it's trim and compact at 2.3 x 4.4 x 0.8 inches, it's a bit heftier than other pocket models at over 4.4 ounces. This battery/memory card bay and USB/HDMI bays are sealed shut to protect against water, but open up easily when needed..
Good Feature Set
The Kodak Zx3 is definitely well stocked with features when compared to other pocket video cameras. You'll have face detection (which can be turned off in the menu), the aforementioned water mode, electronic image stabilization and a microphone volume adjuster.
The Playsport also lets you meliorate the reach on the unit's 2-inch LCD. You can adjust the brightness in the menu or activate a "glare shield" (also in the menu) which you can engage if the sun is washing out your display.
What these added goodies amounts to is a bit more complexity vs. a product like the Flip, which has no features and is thus more straightforward to use. Subject to your comfort level, you may welcome these types of added features or locate them a distraction (fortunately you can ignore all of them and just point and shoot should you so desire)..
Memory, Connectivity
Out of the box, the Kodak Playsport Zx3 gives you 128MB of internal memory, which isn't enough for much of anything besides a few still photos. It accepts SDHC cards up to 32GB however, giving you enough memory for about 10 hours of HD video footage.
Another nice plus, the Kodak Playsport Zx3 includes an HDMI cable for viewing your videos on an HDTV. The Flip UltraHD is more expensive and doesn't include one, so the Playsport is certainly a bargain in that respect.
