. . . the e-mail requesting this review came in as I was onboard the SilverSonic ([...]) returning from my day at the Great Barrier Reef, the reason that I purchased this camera. I didn't take it on my introductory scuba dive, because we were gooing too deep, but used it quite a bit onboard and while snorkeling. It worked GREAT!!! I was glad that I purchased an extra battery, because we took hundreds of pictures, literally. The only downside that I've found is that when you first turn it on, there is an almost 30 second wait to take the first pic, perhaps because I'm using a 16 gb memory card?? When I get home, I'll buy a smaller card and see if it helps. The seller that I bought this from, City Supplies, was great also!

After reading some of the reviews on waterproof cameras I was worried if this purchase was even really worth it but it's awesome! The indoor pictures turn out great also! AllAboutElectronics is great to work with...they responded to my many questions promptly. Even when I received the camera and could not find the xd to sd adapter they helped me locate it :)!

I purchased this for my Daughter's 7th birthday and she loves it. I like it too so far, meeting all her needs and more. It feels quality, is easy to use, has a large viewfinder and she wanted waterproof - haven't used that feature yet but am looking forward to it.
