resolution lacking.......2007-01-18

Most pictures are too out of focus to use, but every once in a while you get something really clear.Had lots of trouble getting it to work with out computer since it didn't come with instructions, we downloaded a driver from the company website that unnecessarily blocked the auto config. process. Very tough to press buttons when using waterproof casing.

Waste of Money.......2006-10-26

This camera has broken after being used about 5 times - the shutter no longer functions. The battery drains too quickly. The quality of the images is appalling. The manufacture of the camera is cheap and flimsy and the delay after pressing the shutter is ridiculous. The only thing that lasts a long time is the waterproof casing which will now be in a landfill as it only fits this camera.

I dropped my camera from my second story balconey on accident. It still works. I couldn't believe it.

Not the worst, not the best.......2006-01-30

Well, I think I got what I paid for in this camera. I bought it specifically for a week-long trip underground, and wanted something small, light, and not too expensive, since the chance that it would get banged and humidified would be great.

The several seconds for the flash to charge up is annoying, and even more so is the lag time from pushing the button to when the picture is taken. Makes it hard to do action shots or be spontaneous.

I think the pictures are of decent quality, the controls aren't too complicated, and the tiny size is very easy to deal with.

It worked out quite nice for my trip, and I look forward to using it on other trips of similar nature.

The other review on here hit the nail on the head regarding the quality of the camera. The only thing that keeps me from giving it one star is that the underwater casing is very sturdy and well put together. If only I could say that about the camera...

Honestly, I really wasn't expecting much when I ordered this. It was a present for an 8 year old. He'd never had a digital camera before, so I wanted to start him out with something cheap. You know, something that if he breaks or loses it wouldn't be that big of a deal. The first thing I noticed was that the batteries keep falling out. Seriously, this is not simply a minor issue. The slightest touch to the battery cover cause the whole thing to spring open, shooting the batteries out. I would just attribute it to a manufacturing flaw, but the whole camera feels just extremely poorly put together. If for whatever reason you decide to get this camera I would suggest leaving it in the underwater casing all the time, so you don't accidentally break it.

I will say that they were quick to issue a refund. I don't know how they make any money with a 30 day return policy. I'm sure a lot of these camera's have gotten returned. Don't buy this camera, for $100 you can get a similar Kodak camera that will take better pictures, and won't fall apart on you.
