not pleased.......2006-03-24

This was a poorly built camera system. the buttons on the case did not line up with the buttons on the camera.

I wish I had read the other reviews first..........2006-02-11

Bought 2 of these in the airport as I left for holiday (because they had a flash which the Kodak ones did not, and advertised themselves to a greater depth). Now reading the other reviews I suspect they have a manufacturing default which renders them useless. Neither camera could advance the film properly, so that I only got 5 and 8 shots out of the two of them. It looks like you are taking the pictures as it advances the numbers on the top, but in reality you only end up shooting shot after shot over the same piece of film. My cases were water proof, but the film cartridge looks like it leaks light, as the un used film was still streaked. It's sad as we had some great shark and turtle dives. DON'T BUY THESE - get the cheaper Kodak at this end of the market!

Good Luck finding refills for this "reusable" camera .......2006-01-19

OK pictures for snorkeling but can't find refills that fit it. once you use the last refill you bought with it its a disposable.

Leakage of Bonica camera case.......2005-05-17

I had a very bad experience with Bonica Sea Explorer camera , but this might be common for Bonica underwater cameras that have similar housing where two halves are held together by the hinge on one side and the latch on the other. 5 days I tried to use it - each time inspecting o-ring very carefully and each time it was leaking. After I returned it to Bonica, they made a test in a pressure camera and declare that it is good up to 100 feet and to prevent leakage one should better clean the o-ring ( O, yes. I did not use a microscope for this, while on a cruise ship).

Bloody Thing Leaked.......2005-01-30

Try a Kodak or Fuji disposable underwater camera.

I particularly like the Fuji. They don't have flashes, so everything looks blue in the pictures, but at least they don't leak.
