Kodak company introduced its PlaySport, which is an excellent portable mini-camcorder that specially designed for snowboarders because of its solid fuselage design and have strong shockproof, dustproof and waterproof functions. Kodak Playsport Camcorder enables you to capture solid HD video and thanks to the waterproof feature, you can record underwater down to 9.8 feet. If you are looking for a suitable camcorder that can meet your photographic demand in all kinds of harsh environment, then we highly recommend you choose the Kodak Playsport Camcorder.
However, it happens frequently that the precious photos or videos you took in the camcorder could be deleted or erased accidentally. Such problem can happen almost everyday and many people feel panic and upset because they think there is no second time to capture the same videos or photos any more. Well, don't need to worry so much. Captured videos and photos are saved on the memory card and when you delete them, only the storage where they occupied is marked as blank for new data. Those deleted files are not really erased before you use new data to overwrite them.
