I donโt know about others, but my camera was covered under water at a depth of 0.2 meters after 15 minutes of video recording. When disassembling, I found that water had leaked in those places where the screws were tightened (factory defect). Its pros: Waterproof, shockproof, dustproof; pre-recording function; quick start when opening the LCD (0.6 seconds). With its cons. Recording in an overly compressed MPEG-2 format, squares appear in the frame when objects move quickly; 720x576 maximum image size, no Full HD video, and there is simply no HD at all; stereo sound is of little use.
