Great holiday camera for the amateur photographer - not chic at all

I bought this camera before we went on holiday to the Caribbean. I knew we would be doing a lot of watersports and the beaches and scenery are beautiful as they are, I didn't want to give up photography because my electronics weren't waterproof. It was a good decision to buy this camera. . The price is great - it's not very expensive and unless you're a professional photographer you really don't need to spend hundreds on an underwater camera that doesn't get used very often. This camera is very

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Definitely a bad product

Good product for the price

I bought this camera for photography in the rainforest. Haven't used it there yet, but have used it around the house and on camping trips. He takes great pictures outdoors. Indoors, the quality can sometimes be below average. This is usually a problem with target shooting (with the right lighting indoors), but it really takes a lot of light here to get a good shot without a flash. The other downside is that it's a bit larger than my previous waterproof camera, but not by much. Otherwise, this…

Pros
  • Lots of positive emotions
Cons
  • Something different

The camera is mediocre, suitable for business use

Intended use of this camera: photographing gardens and landscapes, mainly for before and after photography, but also for documenting technical aspects - performing landscape installation work. (Valves, wiring, joinery, etc.) Why I bought this model: Less than $150. Powered by (2) standard AA batteries, no proprietary power supply. Advertised as waterproof to 10 feet. (Important because I can use it in wet/muddy conditions in the garden.) My experience so far: Received the camera in May 2012…

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Difficult to say

Very good choice as a waterproof camera

I really don't understand some of the reviews. This camera is not intended for children, especially 5 year olds. I gave my kids some cameras that lasted maybe 1 month and they were 15 and 20 and the only reason they failed was because they dropped them, any camera will fail after falling from several feet has fallen. I've used this camera in Aruba all week, photographed some of it in the water and on land, and haven't encountered any issues with water leakage or fogging. I took a video while in

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Big and bulky

Good basic waterproof camera for beach and diving

I was hesitant to buy this camera after reading some previous reviews but so far I'm happy with it! I wanted a basic waterproof camera, at least 10MP, some settings (circumstances, zoom, macro, etc.) for less than 100 euros. I've used disposable waterproof cameras in the past, but they're expensive and the image quality is poor. I wanted something better that would hold up during a trip to the Caribbean. PROS: It's pink. It's easy to use. It takes good pictures underwater and respectably on…

Pros
  • Cool product
Cons
  • Negative point exists

Ideal for underwater shots!

My husband and I took this on a snorkeling cruise as our DSLR couldn't go anywhere near the water! Image quality (although certainly not compared to our DSLR) is pretty good, and we've got some great photos of sea turtles and other underwater creatures that we saw (images posted on the product page). I tried to keep the camera as still as possible when taking the picture, but obviously it's tricky in the water and turtles don't stop still to pose! Despite this, we had very few blurred images…

Pros
  • Great value for money
Cons
  • Functionality
