Best Buy has the Kodak PlaySport Zx5 HD Waterproof Pocket Video Camera, Black for $72 with free shipping. Features 1920 x 1080 video, 5 megapixel 1/3.2" CMOS image sensor, 2.0" LCD display and is waterproof to a depth of 10 feet.
Just bought a refurb Zx5 and I love it. Tossed it in the pool and had some diving fun. Great thing is, at this point I don't feel bad about being careless with this 1080p camera because of the price. It's waterproof, shockproof and dustproof so it'll take a lot to break it. Surfers love it. Think I'll try mounting it on my car next.
The ZX5's are nice, but Kodak goofed on one feature, IMHO. The previous version of the camera, the ZX3, has a replaceable rechargeable battery.....so when one dies, you can have a spare, and keep going. The ZX5 has a built in battery, so when it dies, you're stuck.....until it recharges. Really short-sighted of Kodak, especially as the ZX5 and the ZX3 specs (for shooting video and still camera shots) is the same.
