calling all adrenaline afficionados

capture what you will with the playsport

Not ones for the shy and retiring experiences here at Black Tomato we love the outrageous, the dare-devilish, and the downright exhilarating. Think bungee jumping James Bond style in Switzerland, volcano surfing in Nicaragua, traversing the Peruvian Andes on a motor bike, these kind of jaunts need to be precision captured right? And instantly shared for all to see (and be super envious of).

We’ve found this nifty little camera that packs some serious punch. Let the Kodak Playsport brings out your rebellious side. What’s so great about it we here you say? Let us explain…

With as much as an appetite for adventure as you do, the Kodak Playsport isn’t afraid to get dirty or wet. Like the award winning first generation the new Kodak Playsport Zx5 shrugs off dirt and dunks of up to 3m, but ups the ante by adding a wider angle lens and shock-proofing from drops of up to 1.5m. And that’s while packing the same awesome Full HD 1080p shooting skills, plus improved focusing (including macro), flat-screen connectivity via the bundled HDMI cable and on-camera editing.

Snap, upload, and share. The Kodak Playsport’s built-in software allows you to share videos and photos of you tearing through the surf, and gliding along the slopes on Facebook, Twitter and Youtube as soon as you touch down back on earth with just one push of a button.

Rugged, resistant and bursting with technology its sleek, sexy and comes in an array of eye-catching hues from electric blue to sunset orange. Click here to see the Playsport in action.

Kodak PlaySport ZX5
RRP £149.99

play black tomato bingo

Since we’re constantly on the move (yep, we’re travelling yet again) we thought we’d share some snapshots along the way and give you a chance to win some great prizes.

So we’re going to play a little game of “Black Tomato” Bingo this week. All you have to do is follow us on track of us on Twitter, and RT our pics with a matching shot of your own…

what do we mean?

RT us a pic of your coffee

RT us a pic of your coffee

Well, when we tweet a photo of a frothy cappuccino in a café wherever we are, then wherever you are, retweet with a snap of your own cuppa, or maybe a coffee from your favourite Parisian café? Real time photos, holiday pics…it’s all fair game.

The first person to get BINGO by matching 5 photos with ours, and then correctly guessing where on earth we are, gets bragging rights. Oh yeah, and we’ll give you something on us (A free holiday? £1 billion pounds? Okay, maybe not that last one…).

To find out what the prize is keep an eye on our Twitter feed, so follow us now, and get your cameras ready to roll.
