This week's Woot podcast was shot entirely with the Kodak Easyshare Z5120, which you can find for sale today, Monday, April 30th, at Woot.com. Hopefully this video gives you some idea of the Z5120's image quality for both video and stills (of juice).

Also, check out how intense the 26x optical zoom is! Remember: Every one of these cameras you don't buy is another one left on the market for your creepy neighbor with the sightline to your upstairs bathroom.

Hey, so, full disclosure time. Some of the shots in this video have had their speed manipulated in editing. We didn't do any other monkeying with the footage, though -- the zoom really is as powerful as it seems here; it just isn't as FAST as it may look in a couple shots.

The sped-up shots will almost certainly be completely obvious to you. But one never knows what might get past people. For instance, a couple of our staffers -- grown men, mind you -- just realized for the first time last week that "jalapeno poppers" is a play on "jalapeno peppers."

So, yeah. We sped up sections of this video, and by pointing it out here, we're just trying to be transparent. Not trying to insult your intelligence by implying we didn't think you'd be able to tell on your own.

Also, FYI, "jalapeno poppers" is a play on "jalapeno peppers."

peppers. poppers. It's *possible* I'd thought of that before, but it feels new to me.

It was only in recent years that I realized Ice Capades was a play on escapades. I guess I just assumed a capade was uh...people dancing around in mascot outfits.

It's odd how in the video, Joel kinda looks like Billy Joel...and that rock as well.



Also: excellent job turning a song about EASYSHARE Z5120 into a song! :D

I must confess, I also did not know that "jalapeno poppers" was a play on "jalapeno peppers".
