  • Conclusion: Bought it to use on our cruise, takes average/above average pics as a regular camera, compact enough to take anywhere, not too small to "shake" when depressing shutter.
  • Pros: Waterproof, Compact
  • Cons: Pictures aren't the greatest; NO VIEWFINDEWR!

  • Summary: I took this camera to St. Maarten to use it while snorkeling. The camera held up as far as its water tightness as I like to dive down and take pictures.
