1. 
NEWEST MODEL Ultra Black Flip HD (3rd Generation) Video Camera – 2 Hours and 8GB
Advantages:
-Ideal for high quality video
- Slim and handy, exterior black colored soft feel textile is incredibly good.
- 60fps Terrific for outdoor use and great light filming
-With the flip’s small dimension and light weight, the optical stabilization of the image functions astoundingly fine.
-Can be easily operated and goes well with a separate component for screening its results.
Disadvantages:
-Price is not very reasonable seeing that its video quality is quite similar to other components that includes other features aside from video.
-Inability to focus
-It requires more lens protection; it doesn’t have a built in lens cover or cap. Although it includes a soft casing, it doesn’t have sufficient protection like other camcorders at present.
-With 60fps recording, it’s not ideal for low lighting (in any case, an alternative provision to change into a slower option for low light cases)

HERO Motorsports HD GoPro Camera
Advantages: There are 4 modes in the camera- motionless images, interval pictures (captures images for each second), self-timer for motionless images, video (a variety of resolutions). Ideal for HD’s 9:16, as the lens marvelously provides an extensive outrageous view. At 30 and 60 fps, it will capture line resolutions of 960p, 720p and 1080p, and at 60fps with 480p. It has a USB rechargeable interior battery and utilizes a regular memory card (SDHC). Along with the waterproof motor sports casing included in the kit, the audio recorded is incredibly good may it be outside or inside the case. Good video resolution, although not as clear as a standalone camcorder. The kit comes in several mounts along with a mounted suction cup for car body and window use. The waterproof casing is double sided, one which is not for enhanced audio once waterproof operation is not needed, and another for waterproof. Along with the kit are connectors for camera linking to a composite capture in a TV monitor or a component capture in an HDTV monitor. A remarkable feature in its options allows the motionless images and videos to be flipped, in order to shoot and capture images without any hassle with the camera in an upside down position.
3. 
NEWEST MODEL Kodak (2nd Generation) Waterproof Black Pocket HD (Zx5) Play Sport Video Camera
The Kodak Zx5 PlaySport is the more resilient and long-lasting version of the 1st generation Zx3 playSport, it is presented with the latest enhanced features better than the Zx3; although a few features desirable in the Zx3 are not incorporated with the Zx5.
The waterproof feature is ideal for a summer vacation with family and friends. Note that water will go through the seal if it sinks beyond 10 ft, so it is best to use the included lanyard for swimming. Moreover, recording video in regular beaches is not advisable; the salt water is regularly murky compared, resulting to unclear video capture compared when recording in a swimming pool. The pool water is more clear which gives appealing capture underwater which you don’t regularly get in other camcorder such as the mino Flip.
The anti-glare highlights a remarkable feature; it eases the glare from the monitor without affecting its recording, which is great for beach outings.
