    I LOVE this camera. It takes amazing photos and is so small it can fit in the back pocket of my jeans...even the really tight ones! lol The underwater pictures and video's always turn out AMAZING! We have had many underwater cameras and this one by far takes the best pictures. Like all underwater cameras, you need to take extra care after it has been in the water. All seals need to be checked regularly to make sure there is no damage. Every underwater camera I have owned seems to have a shorter life span than a normal camera, due to the nature of the product. This camera is no exception. Ours failed after having it for 2 years, which is still longer than any other underwater camera I have owned, but I have no problem giving this camera 5 stars. I am buying this camera again to replace my other one. By far the best underwater camera on the market.

    Really good camera

    I bought this camera to take on vacation with me to Jamaica so I could take pictures and video and also some underwater if I needed to. I'm a beginner so I wanted something that was very easy to use. First, you can't take any pictures with this camera with a memory card. You have to supply your own memory card. There are A LOT of options to this camera and it's very light and compact. I easily figured out how to take basic pictures and video. The pictures and video have a beautiful quality to them. As another reviewer stated, it doesn't take the best pictures at sundown but overall it's a good camera. I still have A LOT to learn about this camera. I do wish that I could connect to the camera via WiFi so I could easily post pictures. Another thing (a small thing) that annoyed me a bit and I have to get used to is the sliding front face.

    Average functionality not waterproof at all.

    An OK camera for normal use and has many functions. We used the camera on our July trip and had good results. When we took it on our Aug trip and used it in about 2-3 feet of water it died. Somehow water got inside the camera. There is no apparent problem with the O-ring seal and the closure. Of course it is out a warranty and Sony said to send it to Precision Camera repair who wants $166.00 to repair.

    Not Waterproof

    I got the previous generation of this camera as a gift and was excited to take it on a snorkeling trip in the Caribbean. Having used it only outside the water for a few months, I looked forward to taking pictures under water. I was careful to ensure all the seals were clean and free from dirt/dust before taking it out to the sea. Unfortunately after one use under water, the camera did not work any longer. I wasn't surprised because this camera has a sliding cover and I'm puzzled why Sony would design a waterproof camera with moving parts. I called the customer care department numerous times but without any proof of purchase they were unwilling to even entertain an option of replacing or even investigating the potential root cause of the issue. I was redirected from one department to another until they called me back from the "right" department just to tell me they couldn't do anything and hang up. Very disappointing product and an even more disappointing customer experience from Sony.
