I was really looking forward to reviewing Kodak’s new Playsport video camera in Croatia last week- The water there is crystal clear and it would have been perfect conditions to test its underwater recording capabilities (up to 3 meters/10 feet). My last Kodak had a USB charger that was built into the camera and plugged straight into my laptop for charging, but alas the Playsport needs an extra cable to charge it and I had forgotten it, making it impossible for me to charge the battery and test it:(
One of my holiday buddies was recording with her new iPhone4 which has the same recording capabilities as the Playsport (1080p full HD) so all was not lost… but disaster struck when the boat carrying her and her iPhone collided with another boat and the iPhone was flung two meters deep into the ocean. It was of course retrieved and dried, but to no avail, the iPhone was dead.
Such a sad story, If only the Playsport had a built-in USB charger just like my Zi8, (which I am sure they will bring out on the next model) I could have reviewed the camera in beautiful Croatia, against the backdrop of the sunset, rather than my crappy bathroom. Sorry about the bland taps, but the point is that it really does work underwater, we just need a cable-less version next time please Kodak!

iPhone4 can record full 1080pHD? I don’t think so….
