This review is from: GE G5WP 12MP Waterproof Digital Camera with 4X Optical Zoom and 2.7-Inch LCD with Auto Brightness (Raspberry Red) (Electronics)

I recently purchased this camera for a gift. The battery has been running off a full charge for over a week now and still has almost 90% left with steady use. I love that there are no external moving parts, nothing for sand or dirt to clog and freeze up the lens mechanism. Overall the picture quality is ok. At 12.2 megaPixels a 3"x5" should have awesome detail and clarity, but I have been disapointed by this camera. The pictures appear blurry many times, almost always very grainy or pixalated, and the flash causes some faces to white-out. The flash has a double flash that I am constantly finding causes people to blink and almost every picture I take has at least one person with their eyes closed. You can set no flash or double flash. I am yet to try the underwater feature of the camera but would feel confident using it in light rain. The overall construction of the camera has a plastic, toy-like, feel to it. In just over a week there are already multiple cosmetic scratches on it. I hope that this camera will last for years to come and was overall pleased with the purchase. Great kids camera or first-time camera for the average user, not the best for budding photographer or needing great long lasting pictures.

Ordered the camera for a trip. The camera never worked out of the box. Had to return to the manufacturer so we were unable to use on our trip. Terrible........

This camera is a functional, inexpensive option to the higher end waterproof digitals. I was looking for something for everyday snapshots that would capture my busy life. And this camera has done exactly that! I haven't tried out the underwater feature yet, as I haven't been swimming since I bought it. However, I've seen other reviews and am confident I will be just as happy with that feature as I am with the rest.
