What's great about it: Simple, ease of use
I haven't had a camcorder for alot of years, but this one is very simple from the first time I picked it up. It has nice definition, and it's so simple.
I pop it in my purse and go, and it's great for getting videos of the family, because they are only smiling if they are short videos!
It's a nice price, too.

What's great about it: Price/underwater abilities
What's not so great: No wide angle lens
I chose this for shooting my swimming technique. I placed it in a variety of places from the pool deck to the bottom of the pool. It was solid in each area. The one drawback is the lack of a wide angle lens. But remember, it is a very inexpensive camera. Wide angle lenses are going to run on higher end cameras. The picture quality was magnificent and its ease of use is simple!

What's great about it: Waterproof and Easy to use
The Kodak ZX5 is a great out of the box camera. It was easy to understand right out of the box. Liked the Waterproof feature so when my daughter is Kayaking, she does not have to worry about it getting wet. The upload feature to Facebook or other sites was also great to quickly add information to sites. While the resolution is not the hightest in the class, it is good enough for quick videos for a device that slips into your pocket.

What's great about it: Value and Ease of Use
Use this to video offshore fishing in the Gulf. WOW!! The videos were great. Easy to shoot, and easy to hook-up to TV and replay. Didn't have to worry about salt water and fishing hands. Just rinsed it off. The best sdhc cards I've used in it are PNY Class 10's, 20mb/s. The sandisk extreme did not want to format. There are optional lenses available, and they work. The wide angle worked great on boat.

What's great about it: Easy to use
What's not so great: Not able to use in low lighting
We bought our camera for vacation and love it!!! The only disappointing thing is that we could not use it to video inside some attractions because of lack of lighting.
