I bought this to take pictures on construction job sites. Needed something somewhat rugged and water resistant. I works okay. My biggest compalint is that the picture looks great when you take it in the camera, but when you load it to a computer, the quality is not as sharp as I had hoped. So, just be aware of that. I have not submerged it, so I cannot speak to that aspect of this camera. But I'm not to the point that I wished I had gone with a different product.

We are very impressed with the picture quality. We bought this to use sea side on our vacation so we needed a good underwater camera that still affordable. This camera is good enough to replace our normal day to day camera. Easy to use. We got the bright orange one so I could see it in low lighting when I drop it later on. We are replacing a Nikon coolpix s33 which is no longer sold anywhere.

If you are looking solely for a camera that can get wet or survive a job site, this is such a camera. But if you plan to take your photography skills beyond what is possible with the camera on your phone then you will have to look at other options. It worked decently enough in sunny, outdoor environments with close range, stable shots. But if you introduce artificial light, distances beyond 15 ft, dark/light contrast, shadowy/overcast conditions, or action shots then the entire image will either be grainy or indiscernible despite camera setting combo. Was excited to push this into a trip camera role, but ended up returning it. I had a small camera from 15 years ago, for a 1/3 the price do way better in all of these conditions (apart from being water proof)
