Gadget Crazy

Dear Reader,

I have a confession to make.  There is this new gadget that is driving me crazy.  It's the new Kodak Playsport video camera.  It shoots 1080p videos, takes 5 MP stills comes in several cool colors and it's inexpensive!

Now I know what you're going to say, yes I do have a Flip Ultra video camera - which is about the same size and my husband and I have used it to take video clips - and my Nikon D90 does take HD video too - and I love that I can adjust camera/SLR settings on videos I take here.  So why do I need another video camera?

Well, I am planning to get into a kayak this summer, go swimming at this beautiful resort down in Escondido, go snorkeling when I go home to the Philippines and spend as much time near bodies of water as I can during the hot months. This video camera is waterproof - up to 10 feet!  Yes, that's the primary reason I want it.  It can get wet and it can capture non-blurry underwater footage!

It has all the cool features of my Flip Ultra - plus it's shock proof and can take up to 10 hours of video.  I can easily share the videos I take on my social media sites.  And did I mention that it shoots in 1080p?  I'm supposed to be thinking of a father's day gift for my hubby, but instead I keep going back to this gadget! Argghh!  Will my hubby want this for father's day?  If only but no, I already know what he wants...

Have you tried this video camera?  Can you dissuade me from wanting to get one?  Please, please, pretty please?

Thank you for your help!  My budget appreciates it very much.

Sincerely Yours,

Gadget Crazy
