 Works for me |
| Review Date: May 13, 2010 |
| Reviewer: HappyGoLucky, On the Westside |
| I purchased this camera and have used it many times and there has never been a problem with it. I did a few shipwrecks and a few cave dives and it held up just fine. It is easy to use had decent picture quality but the screen is a little hard to see in bright water. Over all not a bad item for the price. |

Great recovery ... this vendor went from 1 star to 4 stars.
I placed an order which apparently they never received due to hackers messing up their system. When I inquired about it, without my asking they refunded my purchase immediately because they were out-of-stock. |
good camera with some caveats

I have used this product on three dives and still have mixed feeling about it. it is definitely a steal at the amazon price and i do not regret my purchase. the camera itself is easy to use and quite good in land use. in the underwater housing however, the buttons are a little hard to push. this becomes an issue since the shutter button must be pushed half-way to get a light meter reading, and i found this quite difficult. button responsiveness may improve over time though.
another issue was determining the proper settings for underwater photography. i used a sony u/w camera before the intova and it was fairly easy to figure out what setting worked and which did not. it was a little harder with the intova but after a couple of practice shots and dives a fairy competent photographer will get the hang of it.
video however was crystal clear and easier to shoot. the 640x480 resolution really makes a difference and the auto setting for the video clip were perfect- unlike the camera setting which required a few tweaks.
so would i recommend this product? yes, if you have the patience to experiment with it a little. and of course nothing beats the value for money of intova products!
cheers
update:
i have figured out the settings for better u/w pictures and it does take gorgreous pictures as long as the subject is reached by an adequate light source (external flash or strobe)
video is also decent but is prone to flash, as the other reviewer has described, when it is focused on a subject with backround lighting. you also cannot adjust the viewing angle (telephoto-wide angle shots) during video recording.
all in all still a great buy.
i have modified my rating to 4 stars |

| The IC 600 and IC 700 are good. The video of the IC 800 flashes, thus ruining any video taken in outdoor light. The camera overall is ok for light duty use. The U/W housing is prone to leaks if subjected to shock or vibration. I bought this with my credit card and Amazon.com and the seller assume no responsibility for returns for a defective product. I'm currently working with the company, but I am having great difficulty getting any help in fixing my problems with this camera. READ the fine print of the sellers and Amazon.com. |
Wrong camera for underwater

| Reviewer: MantaRay, OR |
| As an underwater camera I highly DO NOT recommend this camera. The time delay between pushing the shutter release and the picture actually being snapped is very long. Taking pictures of fish, sea turtles, eels, etc, they are out of the shot by the time the picture takes. I've tried several different settings. Spend the extra money and get a regular underwater camera, you'll be much happier in the long run. |
