Great low cost waterproof cameraDate: 2008-10-14 Rating: 10 out of 10I use this camera at the beach and while fishing from a kayak. It does everything it should for a <$100 camera. The pictures and video turned out very good. I had it in the water several times and had no problems with the waterproof case. An added bonus is that it floats, so you don't have to worry about losing it in the water. It uses AAA batteries so keep some spares handy. I went through 3 pair in a week of daily use on vacation. My computer recognized it even without using the supplied driver disk. For an inexpensive waterproof camera, Intova INWD-IC500 is hard to beat.

BewertungenPleasantly SurprisedDatum 2008-09-30 Rang: 8 von 10My expectations were not that high based on the price and feature set of this little camera. I must say that I was quite surprised at how well it worked. The underwater housing is very strong and high quality. The camera itself takes very good quality pictures for the tiny lens that it uses. Like most underwater cameras if the visibility is not that great you want to avoid using the flash. Luckily it is off by default when you turn the camera on.
I did find that the flash was a little strong when using the camera on land. Putting a small square of wax paper over the flash inside the housing diffused it perfectly and it works great. Great entry level underwater cameraDatum 2008-09-25 Rang: 8 von 10I had no clue what kind of camera to purchase when I first started scuba diving. The professionals try and sell the $1,000 cameras to everyone. I decided to take a chance and see how this camera preformed.
The camera takes pretty nice pictures. I have uploaded several for others to see. Underwater videos include the ability for users to listen to the oceans sounds as well as the operators regulator. Almost all camera options can be accessed through the housing while underwater. The diver must choose distance or closeup before closing the housing and diving. The camera does not have the ability to change the date/time, so all pictures are time stamped starting in January 2000.
I have used the camera on three windows computers and one linux computer without any need of loading drivers or using any of the CDs that came with the camera.Good valueDatum 2008-09-17 Rang: 8 von 10Just used this extensively snorkling in Hawaii. Not perfect, but ended up with some great results. I shopped around a lot, and I think this is probably the best-working underwater digital solution for under $100.
Pros -
-Housing is the best thing about it - great quality, very well-made and easy to use, no hint of leakage during multiple uses.
-Camera floats while in housing
-Under ideal conditions (Sunny Weather, clear water, used near the surface) the image results can be superb for such a cheap camera
-Considering most of the cost is probably in the housing, it does better than expected as a general purpose cheap land camera
Cons -
- Flash is useless in housing. Need expensive off-camera flash for good results in less than ideal conditions (without direct sunlight, or at any significant depth)
- Shutter delay is substantial and can be tricky to use - you have to lead moving subjects a little which takes practice
Overall a bargain and would definitely recommend for casual underwater use in good lighting.Limitied Use DigitalDatum 2008-09-16 Rang: 6 von 10I used this camera on a trip to Hawai'i. It's good for relatively close underwater shots if you don't move too quickly while shooting the shot. I got a bunch of pictures that were distorted before I figured that out. As far as the camera itself, it's not very good for anything beyond the limited use underwater. The rsolution doesn't seem to be 5M, I even switched it to 10M, but that just made it more difficult to use. At the higher reslution setting the camera couldn't set the exposure correctly and I got a bunch of near black pictures. At about $100 it's not a bad deal, but don't expect too much.
