1 out of 5 stars A basic not so good underwater camera   August 3, 2008
Traveler (Boulder, CO United States)
OK, this seems to be the cheapest digital underwater camera there is but you get what you pay for. You will want to get this one instead of the version rated to 45ft only because you do not know how deep you may get. Someone in our dive group had the 45ft model and it flooded while mine was fine. Also, it is definitely NOT a replacement for your standard camera on dry land or even on the beach - there are several waterproof/sandproof models out there that make way better pictures but they cannot go diving.
The camera has two fixed focus settings and so it often makes fuzzy/shaken pictures esp. under low light. Switching between the two settings is hard, esp. underwater, and it would be impossible with gloves on or for someone with soft nails. Underwater pictures are washed-out bluish and lack color even with the "sea" setting. Do not expect anything close to the vivid colors you see in corral reef pictures and movies. The flash does not seem to do anything useful under water (tried on a night dive). The manual says do not jump with it in have someone hand it to you but that is not always an option. The strap is short had to extend it so that I could make pictures with the camera safely clipped to the BCD. It goes through batteries very fast esp. in movie mode and usually did not last through 2 dives, yet it is hard to change the batteries on the boat and keep the o-ring and around clean (used compressed air from empty tank). The rubbery cover is soft and weak, it got quite worn out after just one week of diving when I kept it in the pocket of the BCD (so that it would not get in the way and would not dangle either).



4 out of 5 stars Great Camera   July 9, 2008
Diane (WV United States)
I got tired of using a housing and having blue pictures underwater. I bought this camera with the extended flash. The underwater pictures were amazing. I was very pleased with the quality of the picture. No Optical zoom wasn't a big problem, but I will probably invest in the wide angle lens attachment next.It does go through the batteries fast though. Land pictures were OK, but not as good as our olympus.

I haven't yet tried it when I go scuba diving, but for the price it looks like it's going to be a great camera for easy picture taking under water.

I was very satisfied with this camera. I found it very easy to use. I took it to the beach and had it in the water for about an hour or so and it only used a quater of the battery. I took about 50 or 60 pictures. Some were a little grainy but most were pretty clear. It uses a digital zoom instead of optical so quality diminishes with increased zoom but not too bad. I think the software that came with it was the worst part. The programs to edit my pictures didn't work as well as the ones I got with my other camera. All together I was very pleased.

This camera has a very basic menu setting and a slower processing speed. so taking pics in exellent light or objects that are not moving as fast will turn out good. Overall I think this camera will work great as a back up, or for those who are either just learning UW photography or using it for a vacation. The camera is also very rugged should also be great as a hiking/ adventure camera
