What a deal! February 23, 2010

Just back from a Caribbean cruise where I got to try this camera out for the first time underwater. It had shipped very promptly after ordering and came with everything I'd expected and more - cable for PC, wrist strap, silicone grease, underwater filter, etc. I spent about $6 on a 2G memory card to use with it.
I justified the $71 combined price as the cost of around three or four disposable waterproof cameras plus film processing and a willingness to pay even a bit more for digital functionality rather than film.
Overall... I was way more than pleased! The camera performed well beyond my expectations. We used it kayaking, snorkeling, and on the beach and I dove with it to around 80 feet. I was quite pleased with the resulting picture quality, there was no water leakage, and the camera was simple to operate and unload. I went through two sets of AA batteries - quite acceptable consumption.
On the down side, the menu system is archaic - kind of like using DOS on a Windows computer. But... It worked! My biggest annoyance is the abysmally slow shutter response. Once you push the button, you must wait what seems like forever but is probably around a full second for the picture to be taken. If you're trying to shoot a fish, it may well have left by the time you get your shot. But, you can adjust, plan ahead, and still get some great shots.
Nobody on my dive boat could believe the price I paid for this camera. One person had an allegedly reusable film camera that I'd looked at and she'd paid $25 for. It leaked and failed. I was so glad I'd decided to buy this camera!
So far so good January 27, 2010

I won't have the opportunity to test this camera underwater for a few months, but I'm impressed by the apparent strength of the housing and the simplicity of the camera instructions. I'm not expecting miracles from this inexpensive camera, but am hopeful it will perform as advertised - it's very hard to find a reasonably priced camera, or even a housing, that is rated to the depth this claims (115').
Unbeatable value January 21, 2010

Was shipped very promptly. Hasn't leaked one bit, and I've been down to 20m. Comes with a little colour filter that fits over the lens like a lens cap, for restoring the red/blue balance at deeper depths, and also protects the lens. Detector array is CMOS rather than CCD (that's how they can make it so cheap), so camera is a little on the slow side. Quite a few blurry images deeper down where the lighting is dimmer, and when there was strong surge/current. But pictures taken in calmer clearer water with better lighting came out fantastic. Much better than disposable underwater cameras (and only 2-3x the price!), and of course being digital you can feel free to go trigger happy. The camera can also record video. Customer support has been outstanding. Everytime I send an email, I get a detailed response within 12hrs or so. Suggest ordering some replacement o-rings since the housing only comes with one, and the o-ring apparently should be replaced every year or so. I highly recommend this camera if you're just looking for a small cheap reliable underwater camera to take a few casual shots while diving/snorkeling.
