Pretty pleased with the camera

I needed a digital camera I could use on motorcycle trips that I would not have to worry about getting wet. I had been looking for a underwater camera housing for several years but they were so expensive. I was pleased to see this camera with housing so cheap. When I got the camera I was surprised at the good quality of the housing and ease of use with the camera. The Housing gives access to all functions of the camera. It has 3 modes, still camera, movie camera and audio recorder. The only problem I have with the camera is 80% of the pictures will be blury if shot in the automatic mode. However in Sport mode the pictures are clear and sharp, and it was difficult to cause a blurred picture while in sport mode. Sport mode has to be activated from a drop down menu each time you turn the camera on. Overall I am happy with the camera, I can take the extra 10 seconds to put it in sport mode if the return is a digital camera that will not quit functioning in high humidity conditions. I think the camera is a good deal and I am pleased with the purchase. It has a lot of fun little features for a camera in this price range. The flash is way better than my HP417 digital camera. I am also a SCUBA diver and not sure the flash would be very good for any distance underwater. The housing does not have a tripod mount in it so hooking up an external strobe would be complicated. It is not a battery hog another good surprise.

Better than I thought

I bought this camera for my husband for Christmas. He loves to snorkel in Hawaii and I thought this would be better than the disposeable underwater cameras he always buys. He never took it out of the box and said our son could have it. I packed it for our March Hawaii trip because my husband had no intentions of bringing it. He decided to use it one day at the beach while our son was boogie boarding. We came back to the condo and he reviewed the pictures on tv. They were incredible. The splashes of waves and droplets of water were awesome. Our son took it snorkeling and took a picture of a school of yellow fish that is now being made into a poster. Everyone who saw the pictures could not believe the color and quality. My husband is glad I bought it for him and we used it almost everyday on our vacation. It does get a little moisture from going underwater, nothing major, and it goes through the AAA batteries every couple hours of constant use. It is well worth its price!

Faulty

Used camera once. After 10 minutes in the water the case began leaking and fried the camera. Case was sealed properly and I can attest that inproper use was not an issue. Buy a better camera or use disposables. I have been informed product is not returnable. Wasted money.

cheap camera that works

The only thing I would recommend if you purchase this is to play around with it in a pool. There are some settings that can make the pictures turn out awful. If you spend an hour or so messing around with the settings you should have no problems taking great digital pics underwater with this camera.

Partial revue

The camera arrived in good shape and as advertised. Out of the box, it takes a short time to get used to as the instructions are somewhat spartan and on a disk- ( printed them off 3 pages). However, after an hour it was pretty straight forward. I bought the camera for an upcoming trip to Hawaii so I haven't had the opportunity to try it yet underwater hence the "partial" revue. So far, it has worked very well and am looking forward to trying it out swimming with the sharks...

FUN

I bought this camera for my husband for Father's Day & it's definitely worth the money especially if you have children. It's loads of fun & the kids get a big kick out of seeing the pics of themselves underwater. The quality of the photos is much better than expected, even good! I would have given it a 5 except for the fact that it takes batteries, oh well!
