4 out of 5 stars Good price...great camera   December 1, 2008
You will enjoy this little camera. The viewer is hard to see in bright light at the beach for example. But this is similar to other cameras.


2 out of 5 stars Rugged camera, good quality for the price   November 24, 2008
I primarily bought this camera for outdoor activities such as hiking, canoeing, and 4-wheeling. For outdoor, daytime photos, this camera works as expected, producing quality photos. Low light or indoor photos are another matter. They are grainy, awful photos. The different shooting modes are just silly. There's even a pet and kid mode. The battery life is decent.


4 out of 5 stars Very Pleased   November 23, 2008
We bought this to take to Jamaica for our honeymoon and loved the ability to take it in and near the water to get shots that I would never take my DSLR. I knew going in that it has limitations and its image quality does not compare with a DSLR, but it did surpass our expectations as long as you had quality light and used its features accordingly. Example: For low-light shots, set the camera on a stable surface and use the 2-sec timer to take the shot instead of handholding it. We look forward to using it next summer in our pool!


5 out of 5 stars I just love it   November 16, 2008

5 out of 5 stars Great little camera!   November 11, 2008

I've only used it a little bit, but so far so good. Easy to use, waterproof, and takes great shots, especially with the macro feature. A great value and I would recommend it to anyone with an active lifestyle that needs a small waterproof camera.
