well my w200 came yesterday, Perfect in every way, sound is stunning and pictures and even been able to stand it up without a tripod. But it doesnt fit enough in it's picture for what I'm going to be doing. Which is a shame, because it does fit alot more in when taking stills. So, am going to sell it and buy a zx5, or swap it for one.
@chrisc74 That is what I found too. I called Samsung and they said it is the exact same thing just made a different package for Walmart. Bought the W200 at Best Buy for $130, looked on Walmart site its $89 with a 4gb card and a case. So I am taking my one from Best Buy back. FYI
@MercOilbuner the zx5 does do that. it depends how low the low light is. the w200 has a bsi sensor which is meant to improve the low light. the zx5 doesnt have that.
The picture the W200 is taking is so blurry. Even when you switched the light on it doesn't change. This test alone shows me what I needed to see of the W200. I'll stick with my ZX3 :)

Sound quality on W200 way better than ZX5

Side by side...the ZX 5 looks sharper. Important to keep the firmware updated on these cameras.

When ever I shoot video at night with the Zx5 it comes out grainy or noisy.

I think the W200 has a better light and good audio too, but the kodak has better picture quality. Many thanks Chris :-)
