I bought this camera a few weeks before our family took a cruise to the Bahamas. The camera is small and light enough that I had it with me all the time; I got a lot of great video on the trip that I might have missed with a larger or heavier camera. I haven't taken the camera underwater, but using it on small boats and around the pool made me happy that it is waterproof- you don't have to worry about it getting wet. The first thing I did when I got the camera was add a cloth lanyard so that I could wear it around my neck (the bottom of the camera has sort of a "loop" for this). There is also a threaded socket to allow mounting on a tripod. The included cover is sort of a padded nylon "bikini" that velcros around the body of the camera. It did a good job of protecting the camera from bumps and scrapes and can be kept on the camera while it is hanging from the lanyard. The video I have shot is of good quality and the 8 megapixel stills are as good as my other "point and shoot" cameras. The camera comes with Adobe Premiere Elements 4 software in the box to allow you to make your own DVD movies. The ease of use and design of the camera are great- you can use it with either hand. I got a lot of questions and compliments on the camera from other people; the "cool factor" of the camera is very high.
