I bought this camera for filming underwater while on vacation in Cuba. It certainly did the job, but I found the camera a bit awkward to use and not as intuitive as I would have liked. The controls you would like easy access to are hard to find (for example, switching it from AUTO to UNDERWATER mode) and you have to flip from menu to menu to find the options. I found the zoom button too small to find quickly while swimming in the ocean. As well, in lower light situtations, the quality of the image is really quite poor (example...on the plane at night with only the overhead light).
On the plus side, you can take still photos and can also save a still from an existing movie clip. The LCD screen is large and can be rotated for easier viewing while recording or watching playback. For the price (149.00), the camera is an ok investment for underwater photography.
