Thanks Chris, I value your opinion on your reviews,

[chrisc74]

@SparkieWaller2009 your welcome.

Chris, What are you recommending now. My Kodak Play Touch has got some issues recently and I need to get something else. Let me know what you think. I was looking at the Samsung W200 but I just want to know what you think. I carry my camera around in my pocket and that is why the Kodak is having its problems. The Shock Proof and Water Proof features appeal to me because I do handle my cameras a little rough.

All The Best,

@SparkieWaller2009 the w200 is a good choice. if you do get it dont do the firmware update. it kills the battery. another one to think of is the kodak zx5.

seems a little harsh chris !.............where did the festive spirit go to ?

@ORGANISER61 sorry about that. i didnt know whether the red was good or bad.

Sorry to hear this happened to your Chris! Especially after we were just discussing the W200 and I was learning towards getting it originally! I did end up getting the Samsung Q10 and so far it's great! I'm sure you'll be fine if you get another W200 and I know the picture quality is great (except it's 30fps) but since you already have a ZX5 for your underwater needs you should get the Samsung Q10!

I believe you're better off getting your money back because the W200 isn't performing as well as the other cams you tried already, video quality-wise(in low light or day time conditions equally). The market is getting more cameras based on the KODAK form factor camcorders, regarding the ZX5 and PlayTouch physical appearance. Samsung makes quality product, but samsung' low-cost products aren't as remarkable(long lasting with quality) as those high-end items they make but run a little pricier.
