Underwater
Digital
Camera
is really a kit that includes a 5.0 mega-pixel digital camera and underwater
housing
. With this kit you can take photographs as you explore the ocean world both above and below the surface. This easy to use camera is good to depths of up to 130' (40 m). Of course it is also ideal for taking worry-free pictures in the rain, at the beach, or on the ski slopes. The camera features a 2.5" LCD display. This makes composing your photos easy and fun. The camera flash can be used to take underwater photos, but an external strobe is recommended to improve color and reducing the illumination of particles suspended in the water. The Pixtreme Flash Set is the perfect flash to use with this camera. Another alternative is to shoot available light with the color correction filter included in the Pixtreme Lens Kit. The camera housing allows access to all camera functions.

Great little camera for the price
I bought this
camera
because I'd always wanted an underwater camera to take snorkeling, but didn't want to pay hundreds of dollars. When I found this one for $90, I jumped on it. I tried it out on land, and was pretty happy with the photos. Easy to use, etc. The
waterproof
housing
being included for no cost is a nice bonus to what was already a good deal. I popped the camera into the housing, and spent an hour or so taking photos of some kids swimming around in the pool to see how it worked. I was basically shooting pics as fast as I could (no film, no cost) and really every one of the photos came out great. No leakage at all. I did buy a memory card for it for about $10 also. The built in memory is good for a few photos, but you'll want the extra storage for sure. Batteries have lasted several hours so far. I use a Macitosh computer and didn't have any trouble transferring the pictures to it. For a good cheap camera to take underwater photos, I think it will be hard to beat this one. The small size of the camera alone allows it to easily fit into your shirt pocket too.

Works great and takes high quality photos
This
camera
has been excellent. It is compact and mobile, takes great photos outside and in water. I recommend it.
Good camera for the price
I purchased this
camera
as an alternative for disposable 35mm underwater cameras for vacation pictures. For the price, I would recommend it.
Camera: The camera, without its underwater case, is very tiny. I've taken 185 pictures, some underwater and some regular, and only about 15 were disappointing. Pictures will be blurry if the camera is not held still. Since it was inexpensive I did not expect it to be as good as my regular
digital
camera, so I'm ok with the proportion of good pictures.
Underwater Casing: The underwater casing is nice and sturdy. I don't know how it is different than the more expensive models which are sold separately for other cameras. I snorkeled for several hours on three different occasions and the casing did not leak. It is easy to get the camera into and out of the case. The buttons all functioned nicely.
Battery Life: I used rechargeable AAA NiMH and they lasted for each of my days of picture taking.
Note: some websites list this same camera as having a 3x optical zoom, but there is no optical zoom on this camera.
Summary: I would say the camera and underwater
housing
are definitely worth the price. I couldn't find many other digital underwater cameras in this price range with the similar features. I'm not sure why this one is so inexpensive, except for the lack of brand name recognition.

Definitely Worth the Money
I bought this
camera
to take some pictures while snorkeling in Panama. It worked pretty good. Some pictures turned out perfect, others didn't. It's about what I expected for the price, and is definitely worth the price.
