"The housing system works great. Unfortunately, the camera does not - specifically, the LCD viewfinder, which is very dark when the camera is used outside of the housing, and completely unviewable when used inside the housing. In daylight, underwater, there is NO way to see the LCD AT ALL! You cannot …"  Read Full Review »

Poorly suited for photos above water, view finder too dim for focusing in well-lit underwater conditions. Service response time poor. User-interface not nearly as straight-forward or advanced as other c …"  Read Full Review »

"I thought this camera would be a nice upgrade from a disposable point and shoot for my next underwater adventure. I was sorely mistaken. If it was possible I would rate this as zero stars and that would be generous. Why is this camera so bad?

"Bought camera to use on vacation in the Caribean. Camera is absolutely worthless in the water. You are unable to see what you are shooting with the LCD screen. The LCD is black.

"I am a professional photographer and thought this camera would be great for the sand and surf.
