Big Problem

Great quality pics, great quality video above and under water.
Major flow is the latch to keep the charging port closed. Opened up under water camera is ruined in first vacation use.
Captured Salt water video swimming with sharks and turtles worked flawlessly first couple of times. Simply putting it into the pocket of a swimsuit was enough for the door to open and let water into the camera. Latch needs a better lock.
Overall value would be spectacular if it was durable. I loved everything about it...until it broke. Having spent the money and not having a working product after 1 vacation, doesn't allow me to rate the product very well.

Pros: Realistic color, good video and picture quality, good audio pick up, easy to use
Cons: Did not meet expectations, latch needs a better lock to prevent water damage
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I have had this camera for one week. Just got back from a vacation in Costa Rica, where I used it in the pools, rivers and the ocean. The pictures and videos look great, both above and under water. It's very compact and easy to use.
Only two minor issues - don't really like the pop-out USB port, would have preferred a short cable to connect to the PC. Also, the videos are not easily compatible with Mac (iPhoto), but the images are no trouble.
Pros: Inexpensive, Lightweight
Cons: mac compatibility limited
I would recommend this to a friend!

I just brought back a Kodak Play Full (name ?) because it did not work. The next day (today) I brought it back and stuck with a Samsung product. I was advised that I was the 2nd person that day to do so. I use it to record BJJ lessons while out on an injury and cannot participate. This is easy to use and does what I want it to do.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

One pleasant surprise after another.

After installing a spare 32-gb microSD card and charging the battery, we were taking stills and video. While the controls are unique, after a bit of a learning curve we had no problems switching formats and starting/stopping recording.
The waterproof feature was the main reason for purchasing the camera, to use kayaking. That was the first surprise. It is not just waterproof, but is submersible.
After a day on the water, although the battery kept plenty of reserved charge, I was able to top it off with a standard "cigarette lighter" USB charger.
Later at the cabin, we were scratching our heads looking for software and drivers. The CD only contained documentation. But, plugging the camera USB connector into the PC, we found the drivers and editing software installing from the firmware in the device. This worked great on our MS Windows XP laptop. Have not tried it on the MAC book or Ubuntu Linux machines computers or Android tablets yet, but will give them a try soon.
Surprisingly happy with this device.
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Realistic color, submersible, drives app in firmware.
Cons: odd controls
I would recommend this to a friend!
