Excellent Camera

This camera is incredible, we use it for industrial use where there is tons of dust, poor lighting and plenty of steel surfaces to destroy the camera. This is the 4th one I have bought and all others are running just as they did the day we bought them. If your looking for a tough strong camera that can take a beating, This is it!!!!! The quality of the pictures is superb.

Great camera for fishing!

Got this to take out on fishing trips with my son so I wouldn't have to take my Nikon D80. Its being waterproof made it a logical choice, and I love the optional floatation strap in case I drop it in the water. I could not be more pleased with the construction, performance, and ease of use this camera. The pictures are wonderfully sharp.

Best Feature-Waterproof

We purchased this camera for a trip to Hawaii. We didn't want to spend alot of money but we wanted a waterproof camera to take with us to the ocean and snorkeling. It has the typical long lag time. This results in about half the underwater shots not working. The fish tend to swim away while the camera is focusing. I did get some great shots of sea turtles (slower critters). It does take nice pictures in bright light. Inside, the flash is weak and the sensor is small but the camera fits in your pocket and you can take it anywhere. My wife adores the camera.Overall, what do you expect for [$]. It is waterproof and shock resistant. A waterproof case for my dslr was over a grand. We are leaving it with my sister (who lives in Hawaii) as a gift and we will probably buy another one.
