Excellent comparison video! The Kodak ZX5 is one of the better portable cameras on the market today. There's one problem with the ZX5--when submerged, the doors tend to get stuck! I made a video on how to prevent this from happening! Check out my "how to prevent the Kodak ZX5 doors from getting stuck". Have a good time filming!
You can buy a lens for the Kodak Zx5 that provides for the wide angle affect. I saw them at best buy and there is a video on youTube that shows how it works. It's easy to attach and detach. Sorry, can't remember where that video is ... I too had an issue with sound being quite low on playback and am investigating. I have the previous model (Zx3) and Kodak seems to have improved the image stabilization some ... The Zx5 is not that much of an improvement over Zx3.
I think the sony bloggie duo would be the best for vlogging because it zooms out a lot and has a screen on the front so you can see yourself. The Kodak would be the best for any outdoor stuff like mountain biking and swimming because it is waterproof and shock resistent and the flip is the best for nothing
@gonzalorivarola Kodak is one of the original film and camera companies. They know what they're doing when it comes to producing cameras. I just bought the Kodak playsport zx5 today. Excellent mini camcorder!
Thanks for the video. I wish the sony wouldve been right after the kodak during the video since the flip is obviously much worse than those two. Thanks though.
Thanks Much for helping us folks trying to sort out which one to get. I kinda like the Kodak but I've read so many owners saying they've had issues with the things freezing up. I don't know anything about the Sony you showed here but will Google it. It did look like that in one area it beat out the Kodak was in that evening shot with the parked truck. Again, thanks!
@guyNbluejeans Actually I meant to say the Sony did a better job with the park truck shot. Other than that, it looks like the Kodak did better with the stones and the dandelion.
The sony seems to be the best here. Sharp. And it's image stabilisation is also quite good.
The detail between the sony and kodak is close, but when it comes to how it handles light, the sony doesn't compromise as much detail as does the kodak. The kodak is more washed out with too much glare whereas the sony balances the light and detail relatively well.
The flip ultra should be renamed, 'flip to the next pocket video cam quick'.
Wow, after reading all the rave reviews for the Flip UltraHD, your comparison shows that it's actually the worst of the three. It was the weakest camera in all of the tests, especially when you were scanning over the rocks
THANK YOU THANK YOU thank you thank you SOOO much for doing this! it helps consumers like me research and "see" it before purchasing. And great idea to post it in 1080 HD on youtube.
Thanks. The Flip seems to do a horrible job agisnt these two. I found the Kodak to be much better the video quality, the Sony was good too. The last shot Kodak kicked ass!
@masterofpop I will be doing a lower light comparison next weekend. The Kodak is great for macro shots, but then again how many macro shots would the average person be doing with a pocket camera? Also this video does not really show off the sound. The Kodak has horrid mono audio compared to the Sony. Both cameras have their uses though!

If you are new to film and just want to make some videos with friends = flip ultra hd
If you are filming on the go, action footage, or fast pace short films = Kodak Zx5
Just like its name, if you are talking the camera or blogging = Sony Bloggie
