 Great camera for the price. February 5, 2010
Lisa Terhaar (San Diego)
I know the technologer has supassed the waterproof pelican case, but for $50 this little camera is great for the beach and pool. I teach simming and my students LOVE being able to take pictures underwater as a reward and having their pics taken too. It can take video, but you need to memorize the buttons on the camera, because once the case is on, ther are no markings to on it. The camera is very small, so it's handy to take anywhere, as it fits in your pocket. The case keeps it safe in your swim bag, backpack and you can even drop it and it's fine. Again, a good deal for $50.
 90% of camera error is user error July 10, 2009

"90% of camera error is a user error" I recently purchased this camera, and I'm quite giddy about it. Being a $50 camera, there are many limits. ISO setting is 100 & 200 that means the photo must be taken on a bright sunny day or slightly cloudy. It's a "5 Mega Pixel" camera it does have an option to shoot at 8 MP or 12 MP, but these setting are "Interpolated" software enhanced and it's not true so keep the setting at "5 MP". When shot at normal mode it's Half meter (about 1.6 feet)to infinity, so I would recommend you to stand at least 2 feet away from the subject. Macro mode setting, you need to be at least 7" away from the subject, thus it's not a true macro mode. There is 8X zoom on this camera, but since it's a waterproof camera, 8x is digital zoom which is software enhanced zoom, not same as optical zoom,so if you want a good quality image, you should not touch the zoom setting. If you are using a lot of flash but seems to take too long to recharge befoe you can shoot, well it's not really the camera's fault, it's your battery, make sure your AAA battery has a rating of at least 800mah, if you can find a higher like 1000 or 1200mah will recharge the battery faster, on my regular higher end camera I use minimum of 2650mah. Many commented that when taking photo it's too slow, if you are using a basic SD card, that is common, but you can purchase a high speed SD card, this will help the camera shoot and record images faster, this speed is same as your Hard Drive speed in your computer. Now this camera is older so it doesn't support SDHC so maximum is 2GB SD card, butit should be more than enough for a 5MP camera, you'll probably need to replace the camera battery few times before you fill it up. ((I own a club where I educate people who owns a simple camera to use it fully.) ((((((((The seller makes other seller a shame, because the shipping speed was a light speed, I received it with in 3 days of purchase, well packed and in band new, undamaged, I will be happy to purchase more items from this seller)))))))) Please note most of the people are rating low on the camera, rating is supposed to be for the seller not the camera.

I bought this camera to take to the beach and on canoe trips. for this it is great. No worries about it ever being ruined by the water, and the fact that it will take video with sound, even with the case on it was a plus. However I would not reccomend this as your everyday camera because it is slow and alot of the pictures(not all) will come out blurry. So I just usually snap two shots of everything. If you want a cheap, take to the beach camera, than I can reccomend this for you.

great price, so-so quality February 6, 2009

I got this because it was the cheapest underwater camera I could find. It worked great when I went snorkeling in Mexico, but then the clasp on the case broke and I haven't been able to fix it. It's worth taking a chance on this I think, just be very careful with the case. The video quality is actually very good for the price.
