@Gillian I just took a Playsport to Maui for 10 days and had a blast using it, for both underwater still- and video shots.

In fact, after this trip, I’ve become addicted to using an underwater camera!

Love your photos and videos from this John. I included the PlaySport in a tech toys column a couple of weeks back but just posted on it in Digital Life so I could link to your excellent review. Only sorry I came back and saw Gary’s comment about the Dell deal – your comment could cost be 120 bucks Gary! And like you, I’m thinking of more hard drive space for all those high def videos. Actually I’m thinking of more computer…..

I just jumped on the Dell deal for $120 that includes the 4GB/case. Looking forward to filming some sweet HD vids. This review sold me. ;)

Next up, the search for a bigger hard drive to store all of my new videos! ;)

@JohnnyGunn That IS a great deal!! I spent well over 200 CDN once the camera, 4GB high-speed card and case were purchased. Still, the photos and video are incredible for such a little and reasonably-priced product.

Even with the new iPhone 4G’s inclusion of HD video and 5MP camera (basically the Playsport), you’ll never have to worry about taking photos in the rain or getting it wet. After being in the sea, it’s a great feeling to rinse the thing with WATER, dry it off and let it recharge with no worries of failure to the components. Enjoy :-)

Thanks for the quick reply! After I asked you the question I searched around and Dell.ca is selling it as their Deal of the Day today for $129 including a case, a strap, and a 4GB card.

Thanks though!

I got mine from London Drugs but have seen them all over (Best Buy, Future Shop, etc)

Do you mind me asking where you bought your PlaySport from?

Stalker of Sea Turtles! Nice videos! Now if I could only figure out how to better process mine.. lol

Ouch the Fisheye and the 35mm?? That hurts just thinking about that. Sorry to hear the misfortune on gear John…

Might take a look at that Kodak as we need to replace Robyn’s Pentax Optio W10 which.. went kaputt recently. Though I’m sure she’ll want more of a photo camera than a video camera.
