good underwater pics but definite drawbacks July 8, 2007
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
I was very pleased with the quality of the underwater pictures. It captured colors vividly...more vividly than the eye could see underwater. However, a huge drawback is the horrible battery life. I had charged the new batteries exactly as the manual instructed, but got only 55 pictures before my battery died (far less than the average 100 that the camera specs promise). The battery died on me partway through my second dive. That's a really poor design since almost all days of diving include 2 dives and changing batteries between dives isn't possible since the casing will not have fully dried enough to open. Whether operating on land or sea, you really need at least 2 batteries and will need to charge them both daily if taking many pictures.
I wasn't as impressed with the picture quality on land. Although a 3x optical zoom is common on digital cameras, I prefer a stronger zoom. I also found the camera somewhat frustrating to operate. For example, when I turn the camera on, I'm not immmediately able to zoom and take a picture...I have to give the camera at least 5 seconds to warm up before the zoom will work. Five seconds may not sound like a lot, but it feels like a lot when you're trying to quickly snap a picture.
I wouldn't buy this with the expectation that the camera is high enough quality to double as you normal on-land digital camera.
The external flash is easy to use and does make the difference in getting good underwater pictures.
