Good camera for the price.......2006-12-05

I just used this camera for a dive in Mexico (my second dive, first attempt at underwater photo).

Although the camera has no flash, it worked perfectly fine at depths up to 12 meters. I guess the lack of flash can be a problem for some other locations or if outside is not a sunny day, but at least for Cancun this camera did the job perfectly.

The wheel that turns the film does a specific noise when the film is correctly positioned and ready for a new shot; this noise is different from when there are no more positions on camera, and the wheel turns continuously - so if you pay attention you'll know when the film is over, even if the position indicator may still show 1 or 2.

Yes, the pictures are grainy (I think it uses ISO800 film so this is expected), but they look "clean" when scaled down on computer at 800x600, and I think the prints will look acceptable, too.
The pictures will also show vignetting, but this is nothing unexpected for such fixed focus disposable camera lens.

Out of 27 positions, I got 20 pictures I consider good enough and "keepers". The picture turned out crisp - only 2 of them are motion blured. Try to stay still when taking pictures and you'll be fine. For best colors, take pictures of close divers/fishes (less than 1-2 meters away)...

We also used a non-disposable 35mm plastic camera with case and underwater casing, but the Kodak yielded better quality pictures.

As for the viewfinder, it is a bit harder to look through it with the googles on, but I got better framed pictures than with the non-disposable camera that had a "target" sistem.

If you want to spend only 10-20$ and don't plan investing more on underwater casing for digital cameras, this camera is a good choice.
I don't regret buying it.

Excellent quality, and provides vital insurance if you will be near water........2006-08-30

I work at a professional photofinishing lab, and I can attest to the quality of the film inside this camera. The Kodak Water & Sport camera provides excellent results both in and out of the water. It performs comparably to the Kodak HQ Max Versatility camera; it produces a high-quality image in most situations.

There is no flash on the camera (though using a flash underwater can produce unpredictable and sometimes undesirable effects), so do not plan on using it in low-light situations.

Film does not like to get wet, and accidentally dropping your camera in water could mean that all the pictures you just took are lost forever. So even if you don't plan on taking your camera physically underwater on your family boating expedition, you might still want to consider purchasing a Water & Sport camera as insurance against "splash damage".

If you need a flash, or if you plan to take pictures at depths greater than 50 feet, you'll need to consider a professional underwater camera or camera housing.

Do Not Waste Your Money on this Camera!!!.......2006-06-11

I was extremely disappointed with this camera. It's a shame there is no option for zero stars, because it doesn't even deserve one. I bought two of them for a vacation to Belize because we were planning to do a lot of activities in and around the water, and we were hoping to capture those memories without risk to our digital camera. Now I really regret not putting a little more money into a waterproof case for our digital camera rather than wasting money on this camera and developing pictures that were only worthy of the garbage can.

All of the pictures from both cameras were very grainy - terrible, terrible quality. The camera that we took pictures with while diving was slightly better than the one we never even submerged in the water. Those pictures were so grainy that we couldn't even tell what the pictures were supposed to be of. Extremely disappointing for a camera that wasn't even submerged in water. Not to mention both cameras said that there were more pictures left on the roll when there were none, so we took shots that we thought were going to be really amazing only to find that they weren't even on the negatives.

I was so disappointed in this camera that I wrote to Kodak and they offered to send me two new disposable cameras. Unfortunately our trip to Belize was a once in a lifetime trip, so I have absolutely no need for replacements - the damage is done. And I have no desire to ever use one of these cameras again. If you are planning on using a disposable waterproof camera for capturing valuable memories, DO NOT waste your money on this one. The only thing you will receive from the photo lab is disappointment. I wish I had done more research before purchasing this one - please don't even bother with it!

grainy pictures, camera jammed.......2006-04-15

My husband and I bought two of these to take on a cruise for our snorkling outting. Due to weather, the snorkeling was canceled, but we did end up using the cameras. One we used for regular pictures, outdoor only, beacuse there's no flash, and it was okay, though the pictures were a bit grainy. The other I took on a camping trip with some high school kids and the camera jammed a few pictures into the roll, I could turn and turn the winder, and the film wouldn't advance, but it would let me take another picture. After fighting with it the entire weekend, I ended up getting about 10 pictures that could be made out, though these were grainy, too.

Do not buy this to take underwater pics.......2005-11-28

I bought this camera and it took great pictures above water, but none of the pictures I took underwater turned out. I looked at the negatives and it was like I never even clicked the shutter. The negatives were blank where I took the underwater pictures.

Awesome disposable!.......2002-12-13

I took this camera on my honeymoon to St. Maarten and the pictures came out beautifully, better than the ones I took with my "real" camera. Would definitely use again! Would also love to go to St. Maarten again (but that's besides the point :-) ).

Fun novelty, but don't go deep........2002-03-22

I used the camera in Hawaii. It was easy to use, and it was nice to have pictures underwater, but when I tried to take pictures of things on the ocean floor, I discovered that the camera won't work deeper than about 10 ft--the plunger gets depressed by the pressure.

Good for those "save the good camera" situations.......2001-10-19

We used these cameras on the beaches and in the ocean while in Hawaii. The picture quality was as good as any permanent camera I own. The only draw back is it has no flash which would have been helpful in a few situations. But you just have to plan around this one fault.

Surprisingly Good.......2001-06-07

Admittedly, I had low expectations when I bought one of these for a recent trip to the Virgin Islands. I didn't believe that a disposable camera loaded with consumer-grade film would return anything better than barely acceptable pictures. I guess I was wrong. Not only were the underwater shots crisp and bright, but even the out-of-water pictures look like they came from a much more expensive camera. I have a few complaints about the film advancer sticking periodically and the lens being too sensitive to suntan lotion (this was a beach after all), but overall I was quite pleased.

Underwater Clarity.......2000-12-01

When I first bought this camera I thought I had made a mistake. I was in Hawaii going snorkeling and I took some pictures of some fish. The fish were beautiful and the colors were vibrant. Thats exactly how my pictures turned out, full of color and detail.This is a really great buy. You get alot for your money! Happy Shooting
