    Review: KODAK PLAYSPORT Zx5 proves the blog camera is not dead | 2011-05-02

    "Cisco’s Flip cameras may have been discontinued, but blog cameras will live on. I recently reviewed... and now have my hands on the rugged KODAK PLAYSPORT Zx5 blog camera, which provides plenty of bank for your buck at around $170. You can purchase it at Best Buy right now (Los Angeles locations here). It is an upgrade to last year’s already excellent PLAYSPORT Zx3."

    Try It Review: KODAK PLAYSPORT Video Camera (video) | 2011-05-02

    "The PLAYSPORT is autofocus and features electronic image stabilization to reduce shaking. There's an H2O mode to improve the color when shooting underwater. The camera also takes still pictures at five megapixel resolution."
