Easy to get Great Photos Under Water
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This camera is easy to use. Just make sure the door on the camera is shut and locked. It has several easy settings to choose from. It is hard to take a bad photo. Try to steady yourself to get the best picture. The most fun I have is with the macro setting shooting small creatures. It does an excellent job. You can also take a photo and change it into a picture that looks "painted". So fun! There are several settings to bring out your artistic ability.
I would recommend this to a friend - Pros mentioned:Easy to use, Picture quality

A great camera for those around boats and water.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I used this camera on a recent sailing trip. It took great pictures. I loved the zoom and I did not have to worry about getting it wet or dropping it. A great size for all your outdoor activities. I also took it hiking because it was so light. The battery lasted all day and I would recharge it at night.

Clear & crisp with good colors underwater
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have only used the camera for 2 snorkeling trips, but both times, under not the greatest conditions, still obtained clear, crisp pictures of fish & a crown of thorns. The camera shows promise. The roller for telephoto is a bit awkward but otherwise operation seems ok with gloves on.

Wonderful camera!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's just what I was hoping for! I take pictures from the moving car while my husband drives, and this camera geo-tags them. All it takes is XnView MP (multi platform) to view the photos with a map of where the camera was when the shot was recorded.
