This sporty looking pocket size HD camcorder is perfect for all you sporty kids out there who fancy filming some of your action. The Kodak Playsport is waterproof up to 3 metres so is ideal if you have any summer holidays coming up.

It shoots in 1080p, as well as taking 16:9 widescreen stills at 5MP and you can get up close and personal with its 4 x digital zoom. It’s got a durable rubber casing so it won’t get damaged if even if your partaking in more rugged sports. You can even playback your most exciting of footage in slow motion on the high contrast 2″ LCD as well as connecting straight to your HD TV with the included HDMI cable. Perfect!

The vids are recorded to removable SD or SDHC cards, up to up to 32GB which to you and me is about 10 hours of filming. But don’t worry if you dont have a card lying around, you can start filming straight away on to the 128MB of internal memory.
