Comments about Snap Sights Intova IC500 Underwater Digital Camera 5MP, 130':

It is not good camera. I got it in Thailand just to get few shots and it is all I got. After 6 dives it broke (electronics not housing). Battery life limited to one dive (if you take many pictures or few videos). Colors far from true. A lot of malfunctions underwater and you could not fix them since you cannot turn off the camera u have to remove batteries. My French buddy (DM) got it too with the same problems. Considering that camera rental on the island is about 1000 BHT and camera was about [$] it was worth buying but if you buy it for some time choose something else.
