Editorial Reviews : This all-weather, one-time-use camera is ready for just about anything. It is designed for shooting outdoors in wet or snowy conditions, and will even operate up to 17 feet underwater. The package includes a wrist strap that can be used to keep the camera close and your hands free while swimming. The casing is made of lightweight and durable blue plastic to protect the camera from the elements and keep it afloat in the water. The camera is loaded with Fujicolor Superia X-TRA 800 film and has 27 exposures. The shutter release has been enlarged for easy operation.
Buyer Reviews : This is a great little camera for taking pictures both in and out of the water. Not surprisingly, it delivers best underwater on a sunny day, but even on overcast days, it produces crisp pictures with great detail.
On land, it is much less particular about lighting, and produces pictures with beautiful colour in light or shadow, or both.
Since it takes such nice pictures out of the water, a first time user might want to practice with it on land. The lever action feels a lot different from the push-button action of regular throw-away cameras, and since you don't hear the click of the shutter underwater, you might be uncertain whether anything happened. A couple of test shots (without the urgency of a sea turtle swimming by or a beautiful school of fish) should increase the photographer's confidence in the camera when underwater.
The big wheel that advances the film works very well; it's easy to find by touch, so getting another snap of something before it swims away isn't difficult.
There's also a little strap to keep it on your wrist, although it's a good idea to keep a firm hold on the camera anyway while swimming.
The simple operation made it a hit with the kids; they were able to make their own special souvenirs of the underwater world.
Excellent value.
