Should i get the kodak playsport zx5 or the sony bloggie touch?

Jasmine

I wanted to get a new pocket camcorder and I can't decide between the kodak playsport and bloggie. The kodak is waterproof which is good (though I can only put to use the waterproof feature on vacation at summer and if we go to the beach) and shockproof which is also good because i tend to drop things easily. i don't really like the screen its kinda small and since i have a flip i know from experience. the kodak i know is good for adventures, and that is really what i do a few times a summer, like hike, bike, but i only do that in the summer or on spring break.
the sony has a sleek design which i LOVE and the screen is bigger and touchscreen. i love the WHOLE design of sony. i wish that it was waterproof though, because if i got a waterproof one (which is what i aimed for in the beginning) then i could take it anywhere with no limits :)

i love both (kodak because its waterproof and the design is ok but not my fav) (sony cause of the design )


here's also one question that i really want to be answered! lol :)
if you have a smaller display screen and a larger display screen (like the kodak is 2 inches and the sony is 3 in.) will you still capture the same amount of what you want to capture? or will u have to stand back if your display screen is smaller?
it kinda sounds dumb that i don't know the answer, but yeah i really don't know.
please answer! :)

Kodak PlaySport (Zx5) HD Waterproof Pocket Video Camera is just what I wanted to take to the beach. It shoots great video. Not so great pictures, but that isn't why I bought it. I even dropped it once and it is still working fine. I wish it had a lense cover because I slip it into my pockets all the time, and I'm afraid it will eventually become scratched.

Kodak Playsport zx5 question?

Jason Quin

I just got the Kodak Playsport zx5 on Saturday, hoping to use it to tape some segment of a concert that im going to this upcoming Wednesday.... So my question is, Whats the battery life of this camera? Lets say I want to tape like 15 clips of a 4-6 minute length and I fully charge the battery... will the battery hold up?

Whats the battery life

Answer
Hi Jason:

According to reviews, you'll get about 2 hours of continuous use from a full-charge. See Camcorder.Info's review page: http://www.camcorderinfo.com/content/Kodak-Playsport-Zx5-Camcorder-Review/Handling-and-Use.htm

Don't expect great sound from a pocket camcorder at a concert; it's not going to look or sound like a music video. Just enjoy the show, don't bug your concert neighbors holding up your camera the whole show, and you'll have more fun.

hope this helps,
