I bought this for my 12 year old daughter for Christmas and she absolutely loves it. She made an absolutely great video about the fish in our pond. I believe she dunked it in every body of water she could reach to film these "hidden worlds". It really allows you to see what's down there in a way you just can't see otherwise. The fish do not panic because of this and the images are clear and sharp. Her second favorite activity is clipping it to her head as she approaches. Skating, biking, climbing. everything, wherever it is in motion. Climbing videos are fun because she can look away from the wall and get great views. It holds up well and hasn't had any issues, although it's hard to get used to. The clarity and detail it requires is great. Much better than my more expensive but older camera. This camera fully justifies its price.
