I have to say, I find it really hard to believe that KODAK is still making the PLAYSPORT camera. I bought one for my daughter a year and a half ago. The only reason I went with KODAK and not the FLIP was the underwater feature. Worst decision I could have made, the first time my daughter used it, the PLAYSPORT leaked and stopped working, they tried to convince me that my daughter did something wrong, I sent it in, they said I was right, rubber seal was cracked, then the battery wouldn’t hold a charge, sent it in, another 2 – 3 mths, then got everything back, she went swimming and it leaked again and shorted out, this camera was in repair longer than it was used, I finally stopped sending it in and just vowed never to buy KODAK again.
