I always bring it along on
trips to the beach and have grown to love the little thing.
My friends have "better" cameras, but are always stressed out about
getting them wet or full of sand... not me!

GREAT camera!!!, November 23, 2005
Reviewer: Greg Rudi
I purchashed this camera for underwater photography for an upcoming
cruise. I have an underwater camera that uses regular film and got tired
of taking the film in to be developed just to fing out that half the
pictures did not come out. I took this new camera to the Caribbean and
fell in love with it! I took it snorkeling and the pictures were amazing.
You can set it for underwater or landscape or any other number of
settings. With the underwater setting, the pictures were so vivid and
crisp. You can use the zoom to get up close with the fish and just shoot
away! The above water pictures also turned out great too! The camera is
small enough to put in your pocket and forget it is there. I would
definetly recommend this camera to snorkelers and those who want a small
camera that gives great pics.

Not Waterproof At All, October 10, 2005
Reviewer: Jonathan D. Klinowski
I bought this camera to take on a vacation to Mexico, after about a an
hour of poolside activities in which the camera got wet it refused to turn
on and when I opened the battery compartment water leaked out from
everywhere. I'm taking it home as soon as I get back.

If Only....., September 23, 2005

Great idea, too bad the pictures sucked.
Great size, excellent menu navigation. Always wants to use flash. The
water has to be really clear for the photo to come out. You need a tripod,
photos without flash are always blurry.
maybe they'll get it right next time.

Doesn't float, September 19, 2005
Reviewer: Carol Fischer
I really like the features about this camera, its fun, small, and takes
good pictures. It works great underwater and is alot of fun to use at
pools or beaches... however, the camera doesn't float, so when i dropped
it in the ocean handing it to a friend that was the last time we ever saw
it. It also has a slight delay from when u push the button till when the
picture is taken, not a big problem and definately not a unique problem to
this camera. I would suggest simply getting a strap that floats to attach
to the camera if u decide to get it. Its alot of fun, just doesn't float.

Could use improvement, September 14, 2005
Reviewer: Salmon River Dreamer "Salmon River Dreamer"
I have bought two of these cameras because I like them and they are easy
to use. However, both of the LCD screens have broken even though I tried
to be careful and it will cost money to get them fixed. I use my camera on
the job where I remain very active and need a camera that can stand up to
the elements. If it had rubber bumpers and a screen that was more
protected, I think it would be a great investment.

Great camera! Takes great underwater photos!, September 12, 2005
Reviewer: Kimberly A. Harding "Cruise Queen"
We just got back from a 7night souther caribbean cruise and this was the
first time I used the camera. I loved it! It is small and easy to carry
and light weight. We used it snorkeling and at the beach and it took great
pictures. The only negative is that in bright light and underthe water, it
is sometimes hard to see the display. Otherwise this camera is great and I
highly recommend it for anyone that wants a small camera for everyday use.
My other camera is a digital SLR and it was great to carry this one in my
pocket for quick use!

What a great camera, September 11, 2005
Reviewer: Kurt Richeson
It has more functions then I would ever have need for and it is very easy
to use. It's small enough to take everywhere and waterproof. The internal
memory was inadequate. I bought two 512MB memory cards capable of handling
�300 photos or �30 minutes of video at the highest resolution. I wish
it would float 'cause if it sinks I'm sunk.

great camera, August 29, 2005
Reviewer: Beverly A. Shockey
this is the best camera I have ever owned. Easy to use, simple
instructions, and great results. This is the first digital I have
purchased, and I couldn't be happier.
