This camera is a pretty solid camera. Well built, great features, bright lcd, GREAT image quality and fast shutter speed.

The biggest problem I have with the camera is its horrible autofocusing. When diving in blue water or with a blue background often times the camera will not shoot because nothing has been focused on. Very frustrating when your trying to dive.

Mel Moncrieff reviewed this product:

I upgraded from a Canon G-9 and have been very pleased with the camera, both on land and underwater. I find the autofocus to be quick and responsive (especially when compared to the G-9) and I can shoot up to 400 iso without any problems with noise.
