    • Great small camera for the outdoors
Color: Green Style: Camera Only
We love this camera. My primary camera is a Canon 35 mm. However, I wanted something small and light weight that could get wet and fit in a pocket. It has been in the ocean, down a rafted river, and on the beach. The photos are clear and sharp. It is simple enough to use, so that my 10 year old grandson was able to use it on a recent trip to Costa Rica. It is very durable. Battery life is very acceptable. ... show more

Review Image by Steve Vinik Steve Vinik
Thus is a fine camera, especially as an adventure camera. It looks good and takes very good pictures underwater and above. It is a little heavy for its size but that is its tough exterior. I do have some challenges with all the options it provides. I have inadvertently pushed buttons in wrong order and found my viewing screen shrink up or disappear. Personally, I could have used a simpler camera, but I hope to grow with it. ... show more

    • So NOT Waterproof.
Color: Green Style: Camera Only
This camera is the worst underwater camera ever. I really wanted to love this camera. But how can an underwater rated camera die every time it gets wet? The warranty process is abysmal and takes forever. Most of the time is just telling me that I did it all wrong. I've had other underwater cameras before and I'm not a complete idiot. All I ever did was some surface level snorkeling or playing in a pool. It's just dead. Every time. I only go on vacation twice a year. I just wanted something that worked. I've had it a year, for two vacations - two brand new cameras (warranty one). It couldn't make it through one weeklong trip. I'm just not hard on things. Back to my onl underwater camera again. What a waste of money - on the camera, all the accessories, extra batteries (yes the genuine ones, etc). It takes great pictures otherwise, but so does my phone, which I'm carrying anyway and is half the weight and size. Do NOT waste your money if you want a snorkel camera. Really. Don't. You'll save yourself so much aggravation. ... show more

    • Not worth the aggravation
Color: Green Style: Camera Only
Really wanted to like this and keep it, but you have to charge this thing with the battery cover open so you can plug in the cheapest 2-piece USB C charger into it with the door dangling open. I mean this charger is TEMU. Plus the door could get jarred accidentally. Seals are exposed during charging. How about charging a spare while using the camera? Nope. Not smart on many levels. At this price point they should have a dedicated battery charger like 99% of every other camera manufacturers provide, including a $70 HERO clone which comes with 2 batteries and separate charger. I’m sure there are aftermarket external chargers available, but I’m insulted at the prospect of buying one at this price point. I’ve had many water/shock proof cameras over the past 15 years including some that still work. None of them had this charging ritual. I’m giving this one 3.5 stars because of the specs, but this camera is not worth the aggravation. ... show more

SAME CAMERAS AS A RICOH 900SE, WHICH I HAVE BEEN USING FOR OVER 4 YEARS, SAME CAMERA, 1/3RD THE PRICE. GREAT FOR UNDER WATER, GREAT GPS SIGNAL, GEO TAGGING A MUST, HAS GREAT DURABILITY, HAVE USED THE SIMILAR 900SE IN SUB ZERO COLD AND RAIN AND WORK VERY WELL.
