Testing out Kodak's New Zx5. I've been using the Zx3 for my kayak videos and have decided to upgrade to the newer model. Here is some underwater snorkeling footage from a recent trip to the Caribbean.

  • Hey please respond!! Is this really a Kodak Zx5 Playsport? Did u do something to make it look better?

  • @TheMermaidClairee Yup definitely! Didn't do anything other than upload and play. Let me know if you have any other questions. Hope this helps.

  • Hola! great video.

    I'm on a big dilemma right now. I just lost my Zx3! I used to make all kinds of video from carnival to concert and underwater, and also some music rehearsal recordings. I loved that camera! and I still have a spare battery left.

    Now I need to buy a replacement and I wonder if I should really go for the zx5. I think underwater video is the only improvement in the zx5 but it has no replaceable battery and i've read around that sound is far worse. What should I do?

  • @emilioleroux

    Hello! If you have the spare battery I would recommend getting the Zx3. The new Zx5 doesn't have the spare battery which is actually nice to have. The body of the Zx5 looks and feels better but the quality is pretty comparable. I would argue that the sound of the Zx3 and Zx5 are also pretty similar. However, if you will be doing a lot of underwater use, the Zx5 sound doesn't get distorted after its submerged like the Zx3. Hope it goes well!

  • How did you upload your vid to youtube. I'm only asking because I'm currently uploading my first one after using my new ZX5 and I've been uploading over night...and it's still uploading. It's in the same format as it was on the camera (mp4). Should I be changing the format before I upload to make it quicker?

  • @martindfp72

    Sorry for the late response, not sure if you figured it out yet, but if you haven't I may be able to help. Were you using a PC or a Mac? That would be my first question.
