I ordered the camera for our Maldives holiday. Now I was not expecting top photos in the price range. But I was surprised by what have been successful for beautiful pictures while snorkeling. Of course it is advantageous if the object (fish) resting to avoid false images. The display is unfortunately difficult to see under water, but may possibly be due to the lighting conditions. I've just always draufgehalten, gepeilt and pulled the trigger. This went quite well after a little practice. The camera is very battery - Thirsty. So please enough stock to take on holiday, as they are sometimes very expensive spot. By the way I have always photographed without flash. So in my opinion, in the price range is an absolute buy recommendation.
