I gave my husband this camera for Christmas. I have a gun that he borrowed all the time and I was always afraid that he would either lose it or damage it. He is an athlete through and through, loves hunting and fishing and everything that goes with it. So I had to find something for him that would stand up to the elements and him, because he's not always that gentle. So far it's been great. I have this in orange so he can easily find it if he drops it in the field (unlike his phone) but the orange isn't as bright as the pictures but still good. Husband says it's a male cam. It's about 20 degrees here and it's snowing, and he's been outside photographing turkeys in the 40s (just kidding, we don't have 40s, but we do have turkeys). We've taken it on vacation and played with it in the pool and on the beach without worrying about the sand leaving it. He's already tested it to make sure it's shockproof (meaning he's 6ft 4in and dropped it on the concrete) and it still works! We only took it to the pool so we wouldn't go in very deep water (that's why I gave it 4 starts instead of 5) but the shots we got were great. We took both mine and his camera on vacation and ended up using them all the time. Aside from the basic features, I bought the camera because there are a TON of other special features. There's a panorama setting, night settings, fireworks, burst mode, action, candlelight, film grain, a bunch of others I can do. I don't think so, but we were interested in testing. I was also very happy with the size of this camera. Some of the other waterproof cameras I looked at were big and bulky and just weird looking. You didn't know any better. The battery life is excellent. We charged it once during our week-long vacation and then we were lured into playing with it constantly. I highly recommend this camera.
