The good: The waterproof/shockproof Kodak PlaySport Zx5 produces very good video quality for its price and size, is easy to use, and has good editing/sharing software.
The bad: The PlaySport doesn't have a built-in USB connector, there's no flash or video light, and the battery can't be removed.
The bottom line: The rugged Kodak PlaySport Zx5 is a very good minicamcorder, but falls just shy of improving on last year's model, despite being more durable.
