Absolutely Amazing, June 11, 2009| By | Kaytlin Simons “Camera Crazy” (Illinois) – See all my reviews |
I absolutely love this camera. I have gone through 6 cameras in the past 3 years and this is the one. Its waterproof which is perfect because I go on a dozen cruises a year so i wont have to worry about water damage. Its easy to use..lots of different options. You dont have to worry about red eye or anything and it even has a mode where it takes two pictures each time..one with a flash and one without. ITS AMAZING! /I recomend this camera for all ages. =]

Like my title says, I wouldn’t buy this for the photo quality. But for those environments that kill other cameras, this is great. I am a fulltime firefighter, and originally bought this to keep in my bunker gear. But, it’s small enough I actually keep it in my uniform pocket all the time. We have an expression in our academy – “If you didn’t want to get wet, you should have been a librarian.” I figured that my environment would thoroughly test this camera. Then last night I accidentally left in my pocket and it went through the washer and tumble dry/high heat. Came through with some flecks of paint transfer from the dryer, but fired right up, no problems.
I bought this knowing the picture wouldn’t be the best, but figuring it’d at least be functional when others weren’t. The photos were better than I expected; they are a bit grainy if zoomed in upon, but still not as bad as I thought. I wouldn’t put them up against those from my D-SLR, but I darn sure wouldn’t take my D-SLR where this baby goes. Even still I probably would have given this just 4 1/2 stars because of the quality. I now give this a full 5 stars after putting through the wash; it saw more abuse than it ever would have in my pocket.
great little water camera, June 22, 2009I bought this camera to take on a cruise because I wanted something that I could take to the beach and snorkling etc. It was perfect – the size is great and the pictures are actually better than I even expected them to be. For the size it is a great value I would highly recommend it.
