I bought this as a Christmas present for my brother and he said it stopped working the first time he took it into the water.

This might be a defective build but there seems to be plenty of people that had similar problems.

I've bought two of these for my company and one for personal use. I'm considering another for personal... it is an excellent camera with outstanding durability. On top of it all, it takes beautiful, clear, crisp pictures withOUT a delay! Only my very expensive DSLR is faster, but not by much!!

A must have for everyone who enjoys photography, but wants to have something they can take anywhere, regardless of the weather, and fit it in their pocket or purse.

I bought this for my mom and I also bought one for my boyfriend, they both have exclaimed it was their favorite Christmas gift. It's durable, sleek, and lightweight. It does not give away the fact that it is - for all accidental occurences - virtually indestructible.

The options for taking different types of pictures are numerous, but if you are able to take good care of your camera, you don't really need to add the option that makes it able to endure 220lbs of force. The zoom option is also not too significant, if you really like taking close-ups from far away, I suggest a different model.

This camera is versatile, easy to use and takes great pictures. Although I have not tried the underwater movie mode yet, I look forward to doing that this summer. Its heavy-duty design takes the worry out of the camera being knocked about. I ordered the strap with the carabiner-type clip for easier attachment to a backpack or belt. This camera, so far, seems to be worth the money.

Great camera, you can use it everywhere, the quality of the pictures has improve a lot from the latest model.
