Waterproof Camera - Julie Ile, Jul 03, 2008

I purchased this camera after reading the reviews of it and other disposables for sale. I had my doubts about the quality of pics that it would produce or if it would even work at all. I just developed my pics and they came out better than I had anticipated. The clear water of the Bahamas probably helped that as well. They of course are not professional or high grade shots, be realistic with expectations please. I have 2 more to try out hope they work as well.

good for cloudy pics and dim colors - Carl S. Marshall, Jun 27, 2008

my wife and i bought 3 of these cameras for our trip to St Maarten. the ones we took above water for the most part came out fine (as expected with any camera) but the underwater pics were cloudy and didnt pick up the colors of the fish/sea life we photographed. You are better off drawing an underwater picture w/ crayons because you will get better results.

Finally! - Martin A Hogan, Jun 10, 2008


Finally, a throwaway camera that CAN be used for SCUBA diving. 35 Feet is the perfect depth to see good underwater creatures (25 - 60 is the general range). Plus the Superia X-TRA 800 35mm film is made especially for underwater light, managing the magenta and blues will be balanced, making your pictures more realistic than with regular film. The camera colors are perfect for easy visibility as well. I'll bet this could go to 50 feet in depth, but that is risking it. The manufacturer's are always conservative. Don't forget its great for snow skiing as well. Good product for the price!

I went snorkeling and it worked great. - Brian Hill, Mar 25, 2008

I went snorkeling in Bermuda, used two of these, and they worked great. Easy to use, simple point and shoot camera. Waterproof, easy to shoot and wind in sandy water. Out of the water the pictures were alive and balanced with color. Underwater the pictures were good on a rainy day, focus was ok. To get better pictures get an underwater case for your digital camera. For it's ease of use and being disposable, I recommend this! I checked out the reviews of the other camera's out there and this is a clear leader. It has a large rubber band to help keep the unit at hand. Also note this is a waterproof case around a standard disposable camera.

If you like to save money, you can remove the 35mm film to develop as a standard roll. You can, as I did pry the case open, pry the camera open and viola! - Develop and enjoy

4 cameras on a sunny day in Hawaii, only about four good pictures - Matt Wetherell, Feb 19, 2008

We purchased four of these cameras for our son as a christmas gift. We were making our first trip to Hawaii. We had a beautiful day on the water during our snorkeling trip, we saw sea turtles, humpback whales and loads of fish. Almost no pictures turned out and nearly all were shot at less than ten feet from the subjects. The turtles were almost in front of our faces. The ones we could use require extensive work with PhotoShop in order to even make them out. The couple we took from the deck of the boat were fine. The water pictures were a grainy grey green and fuzzy. When you looked underwater while snorkeling you could see at least thirty feet to the bottom. I would not buy these again and will be contacting Fuji!
