Review of Kodak Play Sport Eis Video Camera
I purchased the Kodak Play Sport a couple of weeks ago to allow me to start taking videos of my Michigan kayak river and lake adventures. Most of my recordings are on flat water versus faster operation shots of white water, so I have not assessment fast operation shots yet. Eis stands for Electronic Image Stabilization, which Kodak says can sacrifice video blur.

I purchased this single model due to the very cheap price point of 9.00 and the fact that it claims to be waterproof down to a depth of 10 feet for my use in boating. The camera is about the size if an iPhone.

I have used the camera now for 2 paddling day trips and I have to say in short, I am very impressed. The potential of the video superb when viewed either on the camera itself, or even best from my computer hard drive. I have also uploaded and viewed the videos to YouTube and my web site. The potential is still excellent viewed from both of those online sources but tend to be just a petite jumpy due to the internet connection. The recorded video can also be viewed be directly from the camera to your Hdtv, but I have not done that yet, I'm anxious to try it however.
In expanding to excellent video, the microphone with the unit is very sensitive and again I'm impressed with the potential of the sound. I did find that wind did work on the sound if you're exterior on a very windy day. The microphone does have a gain setting which I have not played with yet to see if this improves the sound on a windy day. The camera itself also has a setting for glare, but I have not found a need to mess with this setting. I'm unavoidable it will be impressive.
Both down loading the videos and charging the unit is very easy via Usb connection. The controls are minimal and easy to shape out. There are only 5 buttons with good graphics for control, but these contribute all the features you need. The town push/tilt button provides most of the operating functions needed. The education by hand is only 19 pages indicating how easy the camera to use. Did I mention it also takes good still shots?
I purchased a 16 Gb memory card, and it will take up to a 32Gb memory card. There is not sufficient internal memory to use the camera so you must purchase an extra memory card. I have found the 16Gb card very sufficient for taking a day's worth of videos (turning the camera on and off based on the action).
I have heard complaints from other people that their video camera has short battery life. I have found no issues with battery life so far and have found no need to purchase a second battery as a back-up. I have used the camera all day as much as I wanted without the battery going dead.
The other highlight I have not tried is filming under water to see if the claim for underwater use is valid. There is a setting for underwater use that that must be set prior to underwater use.
So far I have found no fault with the camera and the potential of the sound and video far exceeds my expectations. It is well worth the money even if you never thought about needing a video camera like I did.
