Im not a huge fan of Kodak's products since they tend to be prone to breaking more than others, but if I had to choose between a Flip and the playsport I would probobly go with the playsport as it seems to be designed(or at least marketed) in a way that makes it more ideal for outdoor use.

Sorry to be a pain, but I'd go for a DSLR any day.

Flip ultra has good reviews. I'd go for that, or a larger Sony HD Camcorder.
