Kodak's underwater video camera
We've had a lot of fun playing around with the shockproof and waterproof "tough" cameras from Olympus, Panasonic and Canon, putting them through the torture tests to see how they held up.
But we haven't found a video camera you could dunk in the water - until CES.
Kodak introduced its new $149 Play Sport video camera. It shoots in 1080p-HD resolution to SD memory cards. To make sure it was really dunkable, Kodak had a fish tank on hand for testing.
We shot some video of Kodak rep Ilana Shenitzer, and the clips kept on playing even as we dipped the camera in and out of the water.
The Play Sport will be shipped later in the spring.
