We bought the camera for our diving holiday and can highly recommend. The housing has remained completely waterproof even at the dives to 30m in depth. The image quality is lower than one would expect from usual digital cameras, but for a simple underwater camera still good. Unlike some previous reviews we can not confirm the serious usability of buttons. You need to be a bit sluggish under water as is the case with normal cameras and with the multi-screen setting the second image is the latest sharp, often already the first. The videos also have a very decent quality. Some getting used to is the extreme wide-angle, which you have to get very close to objects in order to receive halfway full-frame may be applied. But precisely for snapshots while diving, this also has the advantage that you have to hold the camera just about in the right direction. The best pictures we have, incidentally, get snorkeling, just as close to the surface more light and everything is colorful.
