Hey Guys,
after I checked my camera after 2 beach vacations (North & Tenerife) through its paces, there is now a small update. The old review is below.
The camera is in a loyal, robust companion! I had it fixed while swimming in the sea on a string on my bathing suit and have done beautiful underwater images. Neither the salt water nor the sand have the camera to its knees. The camera is completely waterproof !!! The battery also has participated super. About 100 images are not a problem!
Other moments where the camera could put their strength to the test were filming out in the rain out of the car. (The camera was kept in the open window of the car) and the extremely windy beach of La Tejita, Tenerife. Who was here already times, know that the wind is raging like a sandblaster here! No problem for the s32!
A brief history yet, which underlines the robustness:
Once I lost the camera in 2m water depth while diving. Unfortunately, the water was too murky to be able to see the camera. So I have been waiting on the beach until it was washed up about 5 minutes later. The camera was completely unimpressed by this adventure.
Unconditional purchase recommendation !!

--- Old review ---
Hello everybody,
I bought this camera in addition to my camera. I have no claim to this camera to make the perfect pictures, but they shall be my companion, where I can not take my Canon EOS there.
Visually, the camera (yellow) a robust, handy and very well-made impression. By means of the big keys menu operation is incredibly easy and one has to bow out in no time. The flap, behind which SD card and battery are to be opened in my view with no problems. Because I do not understand the criticism of the other reviewers. It is clear that this door must be robust in order to withstand the water pressure ... Even though I as a right-handed opening the door with his left hand, no problems there. Also, the charger is designed somewhat awkward, is in my view not a shortcoming.
The image resolution is no zoom is excellent and perfectly adequate. Zooming out on more than half of the scale, so arise, taking photos nice pixel cemeteries where you can see nothing. In my view, not important, so here no point deduction. For people who like to zoom in, but I would then recommend a different camera.
Have the camera are approximately 0.5m tested for waterproofing and photographed a few ducks from below. Comes great :)
I think that this camera is the right, if they have been partying here or if you operate the camera with sand-sunscreen-hands on the beach. It is in my view no camera, the other (not waterproof) can replace camera. To do this you need to have recourse, if necessary, on more expensive models. Who the camera - like me - want to buy as a fun second device, which will definitely get their money. Another plus are the numerous Creative Styles. For example, black-white-red make images that have a cool effect, otherwise there is for example still a neon, cartoon, underwater, night, and Toy Effect mode.
