Purchased this camera for the waterpark. The first picture was crystal clear and then the remaining pictures were all cloudy and some were barely visable. For a waterproof camera, I felt it wasn't waterproof at all and it wasn't worth the amount I spent on the camera and processing. I wouldn't recommend it.
I purchased this camera after reading the reviews of it and other disposables for sale. The clear water of the Bahamas probably helped that as well. I had my doubts about the quality of pics that it would produce or if it would even work at all. I just developed my pics and they came out better than I had anticipated. They of course are not professional or high grade shots, be realistic with expectations please. I have 2 more to try out hope they work as well.
my wife and i bought 3 of these cameras for our trip to St Maarten. the ones we took above water for the most part came out fine (as expected with any camera) but the underwater pics were cloudy and didnt pick up the colors of the fish/sea life we photographed. You are better off drawing an underwater picture w/ crayons because you will get better results.
I'll bet this could go to 50 feet in depth, but that is risking it. 35 Feet is the perfect depth to see good underwater creatures (25 - 60 is the general range). Finally, a throwaway camera that CAN be used for SCUBA diving. The manufacturer's are always conservative. Plus the Superia X-TRA 800 35mm film is made especially for underwater light, managing the magenta and blues will be balanced, making your pictures more realistic than with regular film. The camera colors are perfect for easy visibility as well. Don't forget its great for snow skiing as well. Good product for the price.
I checked out the reviews of the other camera's out there and this is a clear leader. I went snorkeling in Bermuda, used two of these, and they worked great. Waterproof, easy to shoot and wind in sandy water. For it's ease of use and being disposable, I recommend this. You can, as I did pry the case open, pry the camera open and viola. Out of the water the pictures were alive and balanced with color.
Also note this is a waterproof case around a standard disposable camera. Easy to use, simple point and shoot camera. It has a large rubber band to help keep the unit at hand. Underwater the pictures were good on a rainy day, focus was ok. To get better pictures get an underwater case for your digital camera. If you like to save money, you can remove the 35mm film to develop as a standard roll.
