Perspective is important here. If you’re an adult and you’re passionate about photography, look elsewhere. If you want something cheap that’s waterproof or if you have a young child that is becoming interested in photography it’s a decent pick up.

These are decent little cameras for our needs: we need battery powered cameras that are student-proof and reasonably weather- proof for our annual weeklong field study camping trip. We've bought these several times and they last a few years even with the kids' rough treatment.

Great camera for kids. Clear photos. Even underwater! Movies came out great. Instructions were a bit confusing, but once we figured it out, operating it was a breeze. Battery compartment must be locked to insure waterproofing.

It is a small camera! I did not use it because I needed to get a chip, but it is a nice camera.

Great little camera. Does seem to go through batteries fast if you use it a lot. It takes good pictures but it does not have a fast reaction time so if you are moving and want to take a picture, you most likely will not get the exact picture you want. It was worth the money but it does not snap pictures as fast as a phone.

Worst camera ever and previous reviews confirmed but I ignored. Very difficult to navigate, directions do not assist in set up as warned. Daughter wanted simple camera for birthday trip and was saddened as most pictures came out blurry and camera froze up in the middle of taking pics. Battery life horrible as warned. Wanted reviews to be wrong but unfortunately for my daughter they were absolutely correct. Extremely disappointed! ☹️

Super cute pics, very affordable, but doesn't come with card, which as a non-camera-obsessed person, I didn't realize. Kind of hard to figure out how to use the camera. I didn't think the manual was SUPER helpful. Just kind of clicked around till I got it.

Camera is not very good quality. Screen display is small. Will probably recommend for kids. I think it's waterproof but have not tested the feature as yet. Camera is sturdy though.

Instructions are not consistent with buttons on camera. Flash is weak so ISO must be increased. Great for wet photography but no underwater unless it is very sunny

Not the best pictures, but it sufficed for what we needed. My daughter needed a cheap camera for a trip where cell phones weren't allowed. The menus/controls aren't very user-friendly. Also, there is no way to edit pictures (except for cropping) on the camera.

I bought this for my daughter on her birthday so she can practice taking pictures. The quality of the pictures is so bad. This is not a very good hand held camera to buy. The controls are easy but I thought you would be able see the pictures good while going back and viewing them. Waste of money

This camera was a disappointment. We bought it for my kiddo's Boy Scout trip and it wouldn't work with a large MB memory card and didn't charge well. I returned it and didn't have enough time to get a substitute for his trip.

Bought this for snorkeling. Worked fine out of the box on land and in the water. Replaced the batteries on dry land and it operated fine. Took it out to the water and without submerging it, it didn't turn on. Returned to dry land, opened it up, let it dry out for 1.5 days, tried again and it worked. I attribute it to a loosened battery cover and wonky power button (need to press it just right). Overall, worth the price, but not worth the risk of missing out on "once in a lifetime" vacation pictures if it doesn't turn on with normal use. Spend more on a better camera if you can. Also the menus are difficult to navigate and the buttons are not intuitive (right is the left button, left is the right button); instructions show an "Ok" button that isn't labeled on the camera.

I do not recommend this camera. It would not hold charge and pictures did not come out good.
