Although this underwater camera lies above cheaper underwater and 'tougher' type cameras it is well worth the expense. After lots and lots of internet research into underwater cameras Suitable for Both snorkelling and scuba-diving I Decided to Purchase this camera. The piano keys make this camera much easier to operate than other cameras, the housing is extremely stable and robust and Allows the camera to fit in easily. The quality of the photos is superb, even in murky water on the automatic settings It was much better than I had photoshoped. It @ s quite light, not bulky and the wristband Allows it to be held easily. I would HOWEVER during scuba-diving attach another lanyard or equivlant to it and did connect to a BCD for added peace of mind When jumping into the water etc. I would definitely recommend to anyone with basic knowledge (or more advanced) of underwater photography to Purchase this camera - it will not be regretted.
