The camera has been tested on water and under water in swimming pool. It turns out that the machine is quite easy to use. The stiff flaps, I would like to praise at this point, they are the precondition that the unit afterwards is also waterproof.
And yes, despite initial concerns, the camera is actually waterproof.
A focusing does not take place (at least I could here no activity on the part of the camera notice), it is probably around a fixed focus camera.
The picture quality is roughly equivalent to a mediocre cell phone camera, both in Photo mode and in Movie Mode. Sensational sharp images are therefore not to be expected from the camera.
In this respect, an HD resolution is already the uppermost limit of the rational.
From handling I think it is somewhat impractical that the camera does not have a flat floor. So if you want to be filmed while swimming to z. B. to study the swimming Still and vergebessern who can not easily losschwimmen putting on the base edge in the basin the camera.
Leisure and friends it will not interfere, they will rejoice rather that one can draw a beautiful loop through the eyelet at the bottom of the camera.
Under budget standpoint I would have liked a higher image quality and for z. B. to the USB cable and the HDMI cable omitted along with the HDMI interface. Well, you can not then the same control an HDMI flat screen, but what use is one of those comfort when the images and movies themselves have no such high quality?
Whoever opts for the instrument, in which the fun factor when beach and bath films should be prioritized. Given the robustness of the camera to water and (except for the lens) and dust, sand, crumbs, etc. The camera could be even a stress-avoiders on vacation because you are not too worried about the "good", but it is highly sensitive camera must have.
