Do not buy this camera! I purchased this camera some months ago for my wife and son. Dark photos with a flash do not look all that spectacular but still have great detail, but what do you expect, eh“ My one qualm is the USB cable. We spend tons of time at the beach, our pool and the waterpark so waterproof was necessary. The only complaints I have are 1.) It takes a long time to turn on and off. Go for it I liked this camera out of the box. The software is intuitive, the options varied and I took it to the tide pools right away and got some great super macro shots of marine life underwater.

The normal Sequential is a little slow for my liking but the High speed more than makes up for it. It allows you to add voice recording to any picture, but you can’t delete it in the camera so if you mess up you lose space till you get to a computer.

The memory card that was supposed to fit in the camera didn’t slide down all the way. In all, I would not suggest this camera to anyone who enjoys sending in their camera often, and enjoys not knowing which setting to use. All in all, the quality is great for what I need it to be. Point, shoot, forget.

The price was excellent, and the camera is made for its purpose. If I want more fancy stuff I can use my other Cannon Rebel XS.

I returned this camera for a full refund after some slight issues with Amazon. Based on this issue alone, („blade type shutter cover over the lens that slips behind the body on operation, I can see this getting stuck eventually“) I would recommend – do not purchase this camera! I was delighted at the picture quality.

I took it down to about 6 feet of salt water and it didn’t miss a beat. The pictures were crisp, the video worked very well and I couldn’t be happier.

Ok, I thought I did a lot of research here, looking at quality of image and quietness of the video zoom, etc. I saw this on some of the best online camera review sites, and of course, the waterproofing and durability. They wanted my credit card number along with the camera. I told them to throw the camera in the trash.

I carried that camera there for 19 months without a glitch. Every day it was in my cargo pocket ready for action no matter the environment, sand storms, cold, hot, dust, and it received its fair share of dents and scratches along the way. The Panoramic auto function has messed up on me a few times by not detecting the edge till late and stitching images together with too big of gap to match. It doesn’t have a high depth rating but you get what you pay for and 16ft is more than enough for snorkeling and shallow diving but I wouldn’t take it too close to that without an external case.

This will help me take good pictures were my Rebel can’t be taken (rain forest, underwater) I recently ordered this camera for my wife. INFRARED GRILL.
