 Good Pictures, Low Price Jun 13, 2010
By Rainmaker
"Jeff"
This camera worked great in the pool and the Carribean Sea. The pictures were very good if you or your subject did not move too much. No water got in the camera case. Pictures of objects in the distance were distorted on the ends due to the camera case. I purchased this camera and a digital camera maskLiquid Image Exploer Series 3.1MP Underwater Mask - Digital Camera that cost $150. This camera took pictures almost as good as the $150 model. We used it for 2 weeks without troubles. Take lots of photos, or use the video for a minute or less. Larger video files can slow down computers during playback.

 Intova Snap Sights Cam (SS-1000) Sep 06, 2010
By William Sante

I found this camera to be a huge nuisance to use. Both photographer and subject must remain perfectly still or picture will be blurry..no forgiveness there. Unfortunately, this is always difficult with any water sport or activity. Also, the shutter button is very difficult to push (as are all of the buttons) and the overall size of the camera is very small, both adding to the difficulty of holding the camera still when taking pictures. Abundant light is required or, again, your pictures will come out blurry. Many of my photos were distorted, too. For example, my fishing pole in some pictures was wavy, likely caused by glare off the plastic case and, more so, distortion caused by light shining though the multiple (6) raised dots on the case (I suspect these are a novelty added to the case design to resemble water drops). The viewfinder is only about an inch square, so it is essentially impossible to use other than to get a general idea where your subject is located, especially for videos. It is difficult to see if the camera was still recording or not. Daylight makes it that much harder to see anything in it. Finally, it would frequently shut off. Not sure if this is a power saving function, but it became very irritating during use. I will cut my loses on this camera and buy something else. The only pluses I found with the product were the case remained water tight during use and USB download of the pics and videos is straight forward. Oh, there was no memory card included...the packaging states a memory card up to 2MB can be used. I purchased one seperately.

Adequate Mar 24, 2010
By Caldera Gnash Rho
There is nothing terribly special about this camera. It's better than nothing, but don't expect much out of it. You do have to hold still or else the image will be blurry and that it is pretty hard to hold still in the water with any kind of waves.
The video quality is pretty good. I thought it was a better video camera than still picture camera.

Not for small children Jan 27, 2012
By miki kenny

I got these for my 6 years old and 8 years old children. I thought I can remove the cover to use above water, but "no", even when you are not using under water, you still need the cover in order to camera to function. Well, that's fine.... But the shutter and the buttons are super hard to push, my children are having very hard time clicking them, I think it might be no problems with adults.
The camera quality is good for kids, but not be able to function with my kids due to the super hard shutter..... I should have payed more to get a little better ones.

 Best cost-benefit Nov 30, 2011
By Mauricio
I didn't know what to expect from this small and cheap camera, since the simmilars that can operate at the same deep are much more expensive, but I was really surprised, because it has a good quality and is quite easy of use. Although I undersntand that its primary use is for videos (and allways when I turn on it it goes to video mode), it did several photos with good quality. Videos are also good, don't expect an excellent frame rate, but it has a good quality. The only point that is quite poor is that its small screen doesn't help too much underwater, it's quite difficult to see things on it specially if you are using a dive mask. But, as I said before, it worths its price.
