Not worth the investment

When I tried this product, I was greatly disappointed with its overall quality. The buttons were unresponsive, making it difficult to navigate through the electronics. The image quality was subpar and the housing itself felt flimsy. On the bright side, it was lightweight and easy to transport. However, for the price point, I expected a much better experience. Save your money and invest in a different underwater photography option.

Pros
  • Lightweight and easy to transport.
Cons
  • Unresponsive buttons, subpar image quality, flimsy housing.

Serious disadvantage. - Camera and photo

An otherwise very well-made housing has what I consider to be a serious flaw: the external dial on the housing, which is intended to change settings on the camera's mode dial, does not match the dial on the camera. It's shifted so it doesn't do its job as intended. I have contacted the company twice and apart from being told to return it (which is not an option for me given my trip) I have received very little satisfaction. No setting I tried allowed me to change the mode with the case wheel…

Pros
  • Underwater photography
Cons
  • Appearance
