Review on High-Quality Coleman 12.0 MP Waterproof Digital 📷 Camera (Red) - Perfect for Stills and Videos! by Keith Leach

Bought this camera for beach and wet photography. The instruction manual is very basic, but the controls are very similar to other compact brands. The first half-dozen photos were blurry, but after the scene was changed to a beach and adjusted to 16-megapixel resolution, the photos were excellent. I took many underwater photos of my grandson holding his breath and blowing bubbles and up close they came out great. You have to keep in mind that this is a pool of chemicals and will be murky. The further I went, the fuller they got. The video underwater and of the surf behind him doing boogie-woogie was amazing. I also shot a video of him jumping in the pool so the transition from crystal clear above water to underwater was excellent. I left the mic plug in as I didn't risk water ingress, but for normal video from the water it needs to be open so I don't expect any audio issues as some have said. I used a 16GB SanDisk MICRO. SD card. Watch out for MICRO. And it's formatted and working fine. Finally, IT DID NOT LEAK AT ALL. I've had it up to 8 feet (as deep as a pool) and not a single fall. It is extremely important to do a second check to ensure the battery and micro SD card door is fully closed and latched. I see issues leading to some comments when the door was simply closed after loading and not visually inspected. I close the door and BODY PUSH THE WORK LOCK TO THE CLOSED POSITION. Do it and you shouldn't have any problems. I rode the waves with him, jumped in the pool with him and swam with him on my wrist. No problem. If you want magazine-quality photos of or underwater, spend 3K on a Nikon underwater camera. For personal photos without having to worry about water or sand getting into the camera, this is great value and you'll get great shots.
