We buy the first camera because it works under water, then probably because it is shockproof, and finally incidentally because it is correct photos! Using underwater is a marvel. The stunts in the pool, coral reefs, goldfish in the pond while out very well and with a good quality of colors. Luckily I have not had the opportunity to test the impact resistance, but it is true that this case seems robust. For the rest, it is certain that the lighting is quite slow, and the time between pictures, the settings are few, the zoom is small, you can not manually set the time to pause, sensitivity, diaphragm, etc. But it is a very good travel camera, compact, robust, and makes pretty pictures under normal conditions including underwater. All at a reasonable price.
