Bonica Snapper XP Housing
Bonica's Snapper-XP digital underwater camera is the latest entry into the growing marketplace for digital imaging. The innovative XP system safeguards against moisture by having a completely water-tight silicone skin around the camera, much like a dry suit. While inside the Skin, it is an all-weather camera fit for any outdoor activities. The Skin protects the camera from rain, snow, sand and scratches. Put it inside the hard housing, it is ready for any submerged use. In case moisture gets inside the housing, the digital camera is fully protected. The huge 2.5" LCD makes viewing easy. With protection in and out of water, the Snapper-XP offers unmatched versatility in both worlds.

Nice design, but slow & grainy pictures

Pros:
Functional, Good Depth Range, Water-tight Seals
Cons:
Blurry Photos, Not Versatile
Describe Yourself:
Hobbyist/Enthusiast
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend
I purchased this to get started in underwater digital photagraphy and was disapointed. The camera is slow to take pictures, so at first I was either getting empty rocks, or just the tail of the fish I was trying to shoot. Both the interpolation and the digital zoom resulted in grainy or speckled images. I don't think the autofocus worked well underwater either.
