Admittedly, I had low expectations when I bought one of these for a recent trip to the Virgin Islands. I didn't believe that a disposable camera loaded with consumer-grade film would return anything better than barely acceptable pictures. I guess I was wrong. Not only were the underwater shots crisp and bright, but even the out-of-water pictures look like they came from a much more expensive camera. I have a few complaints about the film advancer sticking periodically and the lens being too sensitive to suntan lotion (this was a beach after all), but overall I was quite pleased.

When I first bought this camera I thought I had made a mistake. I was in Hawaii going snorkeling and I took some pictures of some fish. The fish were beautiful and the colors were vibrant. Thats exactly how my pictures turned out, full of color and detail.This is a really great buy. You get alot for your money! Happy Shooting

We used these cameras on the beaches and in the ocean while in Hawaii. The picture quality was as good as any permanent camera I own. The only draw back is it has no flash which would have been helpful in a few situations. But you just have to plan around this one fault.

I used the camera in Hawaii. It was easy to use, and it was nice to have pictures underwater, but when I tried to take pictures of things on the ocean floor, I discovered that the camera won't work deeper than about 10 ft--the plunger gets depressed by the pressure.

I took this camera on my honeymoon to St. Maarten and the pictures came out beautifully, better than the ones I took with my "real" camera. Would definitely use again! Would also love to go to St. Maarten again (but that's besides the point :-) ).

It was a good camera that took decent enough photos both in and out of the water. Two things to consider about this camera though. The first is that the view finder does not accurately depict the picture you're about to take, especially since most the time you're using a waterproof camera is... well in the water, and most the time you're in the water you're going to be wear goggles, making the view finder an extra inch or two away from your eye. It's a minor inconvenience (which is why I only gave it 4 instead of 5 stars), but one I think Kodak could have anticipated. The second issue is that this camera lacks a flash. So make sure it's a bright day if you want to take pictures underwater, otherwise you're pictures are going to come out dark.

We got this as a back up for our water proof digital camera. the digital camers worked so good we never used these.
