If you’re going to live with no limits, you need a digital video camera
that can deliver the goods in full 1080p HD. The KODAK PLAYSPORT Video
Camera / Zx5 is up for the challenge. We built it to take on the most
extreme lifestyles with an insanely tough design—we’re talking
shockproof, dustproof, and waterproof to a depth of 3 m (10 ft) . And
built-in image stabilization smooths out even the roughest ride. Whether
you’re carving up the mountain or pulling stunts in the skate park, the
PLAYSPORT Video Camera / Zx5 is up for anything. And with a touch of the
Share button, shocking your social network couldn’t be simpler. Show the
world why you’re So Kodak. We dare you.
