Love it!!!!

"My brother and I both bought these camcorders in blue, and they work great. I even found housings so they can be taken even lower into the depths. They're easy to operate, fun to use, and fully functional. I love the video and photos it takes, and best of all I have a lot of Macs, and it works with iMovie, iMovie HD 6, and iPhoto. I just wish it came in other colors, like black. Get this camcorder, and you'll ha..." Read Full Review »

"Ok look, If you want good underwater video footage, all the rules of photography still apply. You need to pay attention to what you are doing. If you wear a mask and a snorkle (so you can see what you're shooting) and stand still, you will get great footage with this camera. I love it. You even …"  Read Full Review »
