If you're thinking of getting one of those Kodak Playsport cameras, I got one last summer and took it to the beach. I have some videos here if you want to see how well it does. http://www.youtube.com/user/LobFest
The first 6 in the list (meaning the last 6 uploaded) were taken with this camera using a class 4 memory card. They were taken at 720p at 30fps. Only one of them posted was taken underwater, but I took some others that I didn't post and it did fine. With the salt water I rinsed it off when I was done to keep the salt from corroding anything. You can see that the video is a little jittery, but nice and sharp with good color saturation. I think I paid $129 for it. I'm sure you can find a better price than what Target is offering.
