Bought the camera for my daughter who is working in Cancun Mexico at the resort Xcaret, she works with sharks and other marine life. I was amazed to find out that this is the type of camera used by divers and the marine park. They were exited of the size, and quality of the camera. During my stay with my daughter we swam and trie the camera out (in the water and out of the water). It took beautiful pictures in the water and out. Video quality is great also. (We did not test the video underwater), but if you are looking for a sturdy camera, this is the one! It was a great choice.

Overall the camera performs very well and I would recommend it. I do wish you could go from video to picture to display while the camera is in the housing. Also, if you receive a message that your memory is full and then the camera goes off; remove the battery and chip and replace them. This will reset it.

I bought this camera prior to going to Maui.
It took some very nice photos in the shallows. Once you get to around 50 feet or deeper, the colors are totally washed out. I tried various settings, but didn’t find one that was good. I did not use a strobe or extra lights.
It was easy to switch between video and photo mode. And downloading the pictures to my laptop was easy.

I took this camera on my dive vacation in Mexico and it was working fine, until it started to turn off randomly and the screen locked up where I could not see what pictures I was taking. I had to turn the camera off and on several times and before I could get it to work. This camera is defective. I now have to return it to SeaLife because I have gone over my 30 day return requirements for Amazon. The picture quality is good underwater (as long as you have sufficient light) but on land the quality is kind of poor.

Both the camera and video worked great under water, but if you are looking for a regular camera for other uses this camera leaves a little bit to desire. Since I bought it with the idea of being an exclusive underwarter camera it worked really well for me.
