i have 2 kids who love to go to beaches and pools. with that, i am a picture and video freak with my kids. i take pictures of them everywhere and anywhere (literally). however, i get limited when they go to the water. so i surfed and checked all the waterproof cameras and waterproof casing in the market-- wasn't satisfied with the 'reviews.' until this ECOshot sl321 popped up on my look-up.

just last wk we went on a family outing in ocean city. we used the camera and was very pleased with it. of course, it's only a 6MP cam so do not expect too much from it. on dry land-- use your hi-tech camera...but on water...would definitely recommend this camera to everyone.

however, just wanted to share with you an incident that happened that made me panic a little. after using it on the beach-- i placed it on the towel facing the sunlight. i left it for about an hour or so because we had our lunch. after that we went back to the water and there was a big moist inside. of course i panicked a little-- but my husband was kind enough to 'troubleshoot.' he placed the camera under water for 10-15mins. and the moist went away.

net-net, LOVE LOVE LOVE THE CAMERA SO MUCH.
also the SHOCKPROOF feature helps a lot so much when you have little kids :)

This is an inexpensive camera I bought to play around while diving. Photos are sometimes washed out in sunlight at any setting (even with EV of -2)
Overall is a decent camera for the price. It is capable of nice photos under _ideal_ conditions.

Bought it for a trip to Maui to play with while snorkeling/playing in the water. Did not want to mess with a housing/camera set. The camera did everything I wanted and then some. Much more useful than many point and shoots I have used. The use setting (in water/out of water) truly work. Great in water and out. Understand it's capabilities and you will be happy.
