Kodak Playfull Waterproof Ze2 unboxing and test video

[HollisterSupporter]

So you charge this? Or do you put batteries in it?

[TheNorthernTech]

@HollisterSupporter it has a 900mah lipo permanently installed in it. You charge it when you hook it up to your USB port.

[TrichbeeT]

which sd card would u recomend for this cam

[TheNorthernTech]

@TrichbeeT anything Class 4 and up

[NoahFoxxTV]

should I get this or the original playful (the 1080p non waterproof one)

[TheNorthernTech]

@NoahFoxxTV Definately the original playfull. This thing is a real pile and a complete fail. I returned mine today and saw that they had 8 others returned as well.

[TheJuggaloVLOGS]

wow

[iceman3006]

i saw it in the flyer wed, bought one today, the folks at staples coudn't find them, never saw them and took 45 minutes to find them in the back. thankfully your unboxing video helped me discribe the package so they coud locate one and sell it. Sat door crasher only 16 gb class 10 cards on for $15. if they can find them too.

[percaine]

safe mode allows you to protect your videos and pictures from being accidentally deleted..my kodak playtouch has that option as well..great if you want to lend your camera but don't want to chance that someone will mess with your vids

[thestuffz]

yeah! a new toy!

[MrJohnjake]

haha flicker looks like fucker on the video

[crispyspa]

Me thinks me found a new camera. Let us know how the battery does with record time AND standby time.

[wotldthe2006]

And here I just got me a Kodak Mini Hd and now I see this one and want one lol and this one in the video has a Full SD card and not a micro like the Kodak Minis do.

[fanofdavidsfarm]

@drcigritchoocher Lol he's spent over 1,000 on a computer and camera

[lxshomeproductions]

hi adam nice video, just wondering what camera you used to record this unboxing with?

Thanks

[fanofdavidsfarm]

@lxshomeproductions He used his Canon 300HS

[MrSenaid2010]

sweet im getting one like right now at staples

[HCSkylge]

Adam, based on this review i might see if they are on sale here in holland,see if they handle cold and salty water. But i have one question. Is it USB 3.0 or an old USB version?

[TheNorthernTech]

@HCSkylge its usb 2.0.  I don't know of any new cameras out that support USB 3.0 transfer. SD Cards don't even read/write at those speeds yet.

[HCSkylge]

@TheNorthernTech A allright thank for the answer;)

[CowboyPenner]

Where is this camera available? I can't find it on the BestBuy or FutureShop websites.

[TheNorthernTech]

@CowboyPenner only staples from what I have seen.

[Peppercatkeith]

i got the old playfull

[SuperFIFTHGEAR]

Looks like a good, little, portable video camera.

[TheNorthernTech]

@SuperFIFTHGEAR its pretty sweet so far. I had to turn down the mic and it cleaned up the audio big times. Mic is really sensitive unlike the waterproof mic on the ZX3

[CarCentral13]

How much u pay for it

[TheNorthernTech]

@CarCentral13 it was 59.95 off the shelf but I had a $40 gift card for Staples.

[kb1nyd]

Cool pocket cam for sure, great review Adam!

[delmontcrusier]

Dang the quality on that is decent I may have to look into one.Were those are made is only several miles down the road from me.The funny thing is they make somthing decent like than but they just anounced bankrupcy and filed for bankrupcy protection.They have a year to get their crud together.

[twocvbloke]

Duct tape makes a good tripod mount... :P

[TheNorthernTech]

@twocvbloke yep...when all else fails duct tape :D

[jokerman213]

Hey Adam, Do you ever see yourself getting a GoPro2?

[TheNorthernTech]

@jokerman213 yes and no....the real question is...do I ever see myself getting my Trike back :D

[talldude123]

Pretty slim. I was going to buy a Kodak camera that thin. Only problem is the lack of tripod mount, like somebody mentioned, and it's only 720p video output, whereas the Toshiba Camileo BW10 is 1080p, has tripod mount, and is probably cheaper.

[TheNorthernTech]

@talldude123 I only paid 59.95 for this camera...well before I dropped a $40 gift card on it.

[talldude123]

@TheNorthernTech I see. Yeah I'd prefer the Camileo over this myself!

[InspectorSnatch]

Nice review Adam

[dave11686]

Where is the battery on that thing?

[TheNorthernTech]

@dave11686 internal lithium polymer battery

[VLOGGIN100]

[schark30]

[TheTractorkid10]

[TheNorthernTech]

@TheTractorkid10 uh sure LOL

[creativetux]

Thats a very very thin camera, shame about the lack of tripod mount. Hows battery life?

[TheNorthernTech]
