I wanted a cheap camera to take some pictures and video of students and manatees while on our spring break trip to get SCUBA certified.  The biggest downside is the menu system, but once you figure it out, it''s okay.  Did exactly what I wanted and didn''t have to pay a lot of money for it.

Tested this camera for the first time last week; the case kept the camera dry and had no problem transferring photos to a laptop.  Got some good shots of the hotel from the sea; for underwater shots it''s probably ok if you have strong sunlight and low wave action.  It''s not a ''fast'' camera, but for the money, it''s hard to beat.

The pictures I took were great but the camera is to small and difficult to use under water. The most difficult part is that the screen is way to small and difficult to see once you get down to 40 feet and below. Also, the screen also goes blank between each shot making it difficult to know if it shut off and needs to be turned on again. When you are diving you are thinking about more important things.

Horrible photographs!!

Horrible video!!

Seal does not seal out water well and camera was fried after 1 use!!

I got this for my grandkids to use underwater at our swim club.  Photos were crisp and clear.  The plastic housing is thick and you can't really see well the photo you got.  Without glasses, everything I see is blurry.  We just pointed and shot.  Easy to download and photos are beautiful.  That they were slightly skewed is due to poor eyesight on my part.
