don't buy it! March 26, 2010 J. ROBBINS (MI USA) I bought this hoping it could be used for a one time manatee swim on our Florida trip, and also be a digital camera for my 6 year old. we tested it and underwater the pictures come out as blue and red spots and is worthless. i was surprised for the small amount of pixels this camera has, above water and in plenty of light, the picture quality is okay only if you hold the camera very still. it's a neat concept with the outside case. there's no SD card so pictures cannot be viewed on the camera. have to download camera to computer in order to see pictures. bummer. had to look at instruction booklet as it's complicated to use. my son accidentally changed the low/high resolution and compression settings half way through taking pictures, and i think this is what prevented us from downloading the pictures to the computer. i had to delete all pictures, and take out the batteries to reset it. and it was okay after that. installing the software has to be done in a certain order, and i had to do it 3 times to successfully install the software. the 3rd time took only because i got out the directions.
Cheap but not necessarily nasty February 10, 2010 Noel A. Hodda (Sydney, Australia) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
C'mon, it's a cheap camera (more like a battery operated usb stick with a lens). Cut it some slack. We bought one ages ago and forgot we had it. Just prior to a recent holiday in Vanuatu I pulled it out and threw it into the bag with some batteries, just in case, not expecting much. Used it there, no problem, watertight, brought it home, plugged it into my Mac - nothing. Not even recognition that something was in the usb port. So I loaded up the provided software onto my aged and wheezing PC desktop, connected the camera and lo! There were all the pictures! Sure, they weren't flash but they were there. But then I noticed the 'enhance' function on the loaded software. Brilliant! My slightly washed out pics were suddenly vibrant and full of the colour that the real underwater world had had. So, camera, probably a 2. Software, definitely a 3. Put them together and the whole deal has to be worth 3 stars.
Digital Concepts Aqua Shot VGA Under Water Digital Camera January 26, 2010 S. Butler (Garden Grove, CA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
A cute inexpensive way to take underwater pictures. They came out ok, not very high resolution. Great for kids.
Buy the lithium batteries and you are set. Worth it for the price.
Love it May 14, 2008 Stephen Wells (greenwich, ct) 2 out of 4 found this review helpful
We love this camera! We bought 3 to go to the Galapagos. The pictures it takes underwater are equivalent to what you see through your mask. The pictures exceeded my expectations by a large margin. Not as good as my canon 30D but three cost less than the tax on the canon.
