In no scenario does this camera take a single clear photo without SIGNIFICANT grain and slight blur. The shake in videos is jarring. This camera is comparable to something that would have been released in the very early 2000's. I purchased this for the carefree simplicity for on the go fun however it's literally unusable if you have any desire to enjoy your memories. I'd recommend purchasing the HTC re from 2014 even though it's five years old and most likely difficult to find. Do some research and you'll see that the re far surpasses the IVY REC which is mind-blowingly shocking as it's 2019 and we're talking about a camera from Canon. Do your research, this is a 100% unbiased review (I've never previously reviewed a product) but I've been so burned by this I just had to air my disbelief. I guarantee this will be pulled from shelves or never to be seen again after these initial units are severely discounted and sold.

This is great toy camera for outside especially for Pool or beach. I broke my smart phone due to drop it in the pool last summer, even though I used the water proof case. For this Camera I will not need to hesitate to enjoy photo shooting in the water park. Also this design is good to carry. you just need to put this on to your bag or belt. You may not be satisfied if you expect full spec of the Camera, There is no display. If you want to check the photo, you need to connect to your smart phone.

Camera seemed awesome because of size and portability. But the pictures taken with it are not great quality. Hard to use due to fixed focus.

I bought this little camera because it is made by Canon. I'm ashamed my self for spending that kind of money for such a low quality gadget. I did a few test shots on an afternoon that should have been perfect light. There was so much noise in the image that it was unusable. I did run the image through Topaz Denoise. It just had too much noise to make a usable image. I've not used it since. I would give it to a kid but they would have to be pretty techie to use it. Just use your smart phone camera.

I'm going to second what others are saying. The camera in this is terrible. So much digital noise. The white balance is also way off. My pictures have been almost orange at times. I'll probably return this item. Such a waste of money.

My 10yr old waterproof kodak playsport 1080p action camera is better than this. Canon, you're fired. Bestbuy please discontinue selling this crappy little camera. It's about as innovative as an aluminum garbage lid

I received this free IVY REC Outdoor Camera (Riptide) to review. I found it to be a great little camera, unbelievably small for all that it can do! I was able to take clear crisp photos as good if not better than my smartphone camera. What I also found surprising was even though it is advertised as an outdoor camera, it takes great pictures indoors too. There is no flash feature for indoors, but as long as there is light in the room, pictures come out great. The video option is doable. Not necessarily the best but it does what it says and for those moments when a short video is needed, it is fine. I like the fact that it can all be downloaded to your phone or computer later. I think this little camera is marketed for younger people for it's usability to travel and rugged exterior. I took photos in the rain without worry. If dropped, it can withstand the pressure. The camera itself has an attachable clip which makes it easy to carry; I clipped mine on my purse strap. The only drawback I personally had with the camera is trying to open the little door for inserting the MicroSD card and the cord for the USB port to download and charge. My husband had no problem opening it but I simply couldn't manage it. Perhaps not the best feature if you are older, have arthritis or other issues with strength. I would recommend this product especially for children when they want a camera of their own but might drop an expensive smartphone when taking a picture.

I received this camera fot free in exchange for a review. I like the simplicity of the design overall to make it more "point and shoot." The wheel on the back to choose the shooting mode is very easy to use, but does require using a fingernail or something similar so I don't believe it could be turned on by accident. There is no option to review pictures, or to really see the picture before you take it, so how good the picture turns out is based either on luck or by practice. The clip is very nice, and allows the camera to easily be attached to a belt loop for easy access. The accompanying app requires little set up, but after that is pretty easy to use. The app let's you see the photos or videos you've taken and then download them to use elsewhere. I don't appreciate that the app is mandatory in order to have full use of the camera, but I understand that it is part of streamlining the experience so I accept it. Overall it is a nice simple camera for on the go, and it would be nice for people who just want to be able to take quick pictures but aren't worried about professional quality.
