This is my first underwater camera and I was pleasently surprised how well it performs for the cheap cost. It can be used for diving due to the good underwater casing. I have some good pics with it. Often need to tweak the photos in an editing program but I guess this would be true of many point and shoot cameras. It's easy to use, and so far has not given me any problems at all (have had over 6 mths now).The macro function actually works really well on the whole, it's good for this.

Few things that are worth considering if buying. It doesn't like low light AT ALL. More so than any other camera I've used. If using for this may need to bring a light source along or put up with some of the photos being less than great at times. It seems to find the focus harder if there's sediment in the water also.

I'd have to say the image quality would be average (it's not bad, just average compared to other camera's I've used).

It has a significant shutter delay, especially in lower light which can blur photos as in an ocean environment, things usually are not completely still over a period of a few seconds.

The video is terrible quality. Buy this camera for pictures not video. It does record sound ok.

Definitly recommend buying an underwater filter, especially if you plan to take it down more than a couple of meters.

Overall it is a reasonable 1st camera and although it has it's cons, for the price you can't really complain. If you want a camera to start out with or are on a budget I'd recommend it.

I bought one camera back in Nov 08, this camera lasted about four months than the shutter went, could only take video after this problem untill case leaked and camera did not work. Having bought external accesories sush as flash I purchased a second camera back in June 09, this camera flooded and does not work. Very slow shutter reponse from the time you hit the trigger till the time the shutter snaps making it very difficult to take pictures of moving fish and other subjects. Have been burned twice and would not purchase again

I dove with the camera as deep as 100 ft, without any problems. Best photo distance range: 3-10 ft. Beyond that distance, you start to lose granularity and color depth even at max zoom. The built-in flash is pretty weak, upto 4 ft. You can use photo editing software to digitally filter out the green or blue tone from the ocean. Decent camera for the casual photographer. Recommend AA rechargeable batteries. With flash, you'll burn through your batteries after 20 or more shots per dive. AA are less expensive than the SLR camera batteries.

The camera is compact. And the housing is great. But taking photos on land or underwater is challenging due to a significant shutter delay. Since most objects never remain completely still, especially underwater, it does not produce consistently good photos. I've spoken with others who are semi-pro photographers and above and they have experienced the same issue.

The camera was easy to use and carry. We went on a cruise in the Caribbean. We went scuba diving one day and snorkeling everyday. The camera gave us excellent results.
