Review 1 of 11

Price Paid:  $130.00 from www.bhphotovideo.com

Summary:

Before I bought this camera every camera that i have bought was a canon. I bought this camera to use for whitewater kayaking because it seemed like the perfect camera; it was small, and waterproof. But within the first week of using this camera it stopped working. I called canon and sent it back to them. They then said that they fixed the camera, but within a week it stopped working again. So I sent it back to canon and they repaired it once again. When I got it back it stopped working again. After several long phone calls and arguing eith supervisors, I got thewm to send me a brand new camera. Once again only two days after I recieved the camera it it stopped working. i am now waiting for them to send it back to me once more, hopefully this time they will fix it correctly.

Strengths:

None

Weaknesses:

Badly made, Never works when you need it

Similar Products Used:

Disposeable cameras

Customer Service:

Horrible, I hope you never but this camera or you will have to deal with them.

Review 4 of 11

Price Paid:  $200.00 from Long's drugs

Summary:

Very disappointed. Had spent a lot of time looking for the right underwater camera and had been impressed with ELPH picture quality, so bought it instead of the $100 Minolta Vectis Extreem. The underwater quality was no better than disposables, with a much worse viewfinder, too small and glares in bright light. Hoped to use it as a general beach camera as well, but the picture quality was disappointing with poor contrast. Probably good for occassional beach going, hiking, etc, but not for regular divers/snorkelers. Changing film on the beach too hard with need to keep innards and gasket dry and sand-free.

Strengths:

Nice looking

Weaknesses:

Disappointing picture quality, The viewfinder is terrible under water, the macro feature takes away from getting spontaneous shots and didn't notice much benefit. design looks strong but dripped water insdie when opening once and the camera completely quit working

Similar Products Used:

disposable underwater cameras

Customer Service:

have not yet contacted
