Suggestion for a great camera
on January 28, 2011
Posted by: Larry
I've used this on a couple of vacations with great results both above and below the waterline. However, I seem to often forget to change the camera to the underwater setting, which results in the white-balance being off. Sure would be nice if the D10 could "know" it is underwater and adjust accordingly. Just part of the AWB process.
Pros: good battery life, Nice features/settings, excellent image quality, durable, easy to use
While on vacation in the Keys, my 2 year old grandson threw my camera over the patio and it landed 40 ft. down in the sand.[my mistake letting him hold it!] It survived,it's still waterproof,and takes great underwater shots. When Canon says it's shockproof they mean it!
I bought this camera for a cross country motorcycle trip. The camera stood up well in temperatures to 115 degrees and through some heavy rains. I have no regrets about the purchase of this camera. It is well built with many features that are welcomed in a camera for rough outdoor use.
Pros: good battery life, Good Low-Light Performance, Nice features/settings, excellent image quality, durable, Bright LCD, Lightweight/Portable, Simple controls/menu, easy to use
I have bought this camera 2x and my cousin owned one. The first time I used it once in Bahamas and it kept telling me to load battery pack when I fully charged the batteries. It kept turning off during the day after my first day underwater. The 2nd camera was used in cabo and it was fine. My cousin's LCD stopped working after using it in hawaii for 1 day underwater.
Pros: Nice features/settings, excellent image quality, Bright LCD, Simple controls/menu, easy to use
Cons: Short battery life, Flimsy Construction, doesn't last long
No it doesn't shoot SLR quality images, nor does it zoom in or out quite as far as one might like; but, for a rugged point and shoot it is very good. I have several of these being used in varied ways and I find tem to be my go to's more and more. Some people dislike its size, weight and shape, I am the opposite, I think it is perfect in this regard. Also the lack of HD video is a detractor to some; to me it is a bonus as editing a smaller video file is much easier. The bottom line is that they are well rounded effective tools.
I bought this camera because of the features. It functioned ok when i went to the beach a few months back. Now, I get blurry pictures and the body has a very ugly melt down near the backscreen. I hate it that it keeps on showing this ugly line, Lens Error, restart camera. It's crazy. I restart constantly. To fix the error, I need to shake my camera so the lens would fix itself. Not too intelligent
I just got this camera for christmas. So far, I've dropped it and taken it in the pool! The underwater video and camera are excellent! It's a little big, but it's waterproof, durable, and it's a cute color anyways. When I dropped it today it made a few scratches on it, but nothing important like the lens, it turned on after like nothing happened. The battery life lasts awhile too! Overall I'd recommend this camera to anyone. Anybody can use it, any age, anywhere!
Pros: good battery life, excellent image quality, durable, Bright LCD, Simple controls/menu, easy to use, design, underwater video, waterproof
I have had 5 different cameras over the last three years and I have to say hands down this one is just perfect. I have two kids and three dogs. We are always at the pool, beach, park, camping, four wheeling, etc... this camera is one that you don't have to worry about. I have dropped this several times and got it fully immersed in water still works like a it was brand new!!! The pictures it takes are amazing. You don't have to take a class to run it very easy to use. Tons of great features and I love the zoom.
