5 out of 5 stars Great underwater camera for the beginner   August 21, 2008

I am an avid snorkeler and beginner at scuba diving and am getting ready for a trip of diving and snorkeling in Florida this October. I have been toying with the idea of getting a good underwater digital camera for the last couple of months, and after a lot of research, purchased the ECOshot. This camera certainly met my expectations and more!! I have been snorkeling around Long Island Sound, and trust me when I say that the water visibility is not the best. However, the ECOshot has made my pictures wonderful. I was even more amazed by the land pictures that I have been able to take on the beach. They are some of the best pictures that I have taken.

Now there are a few things that you should know when using the ECOshot camera. First, always use the flash. You will not believe how much better the pictures will come out when you use the built-in flash. Second, set the camera to automatic setting because the sea mode will give your pictures a strange reddish tint to them. Automatic mode will keep that from happening.

I found this camera held battery life really well and exceeded my expectations on my first time snorkeling with it. I plan to continue using it and feel that it is a great buy for the beginner.

4 out of 5 stars Riviera Maya trip   July 22, 2008

I bought this camera for a trip to Riviera Maya Mexico. When it arrived I played with it in the pool with sport and sea modes. Sea mode makes it look red above water and normal below... at least in a pool it worked fine. The pictured I posted that were taken in Mexico, were used with the sport mode. The sea mode left a strong red tint on them. Like I said though, not a problem because I just changed the mode and it worked perfectly. Camera is easy to operate and auto adjusts for pictures, which is nice for underwater. Not a fan of having to use AA batteries, wish it came with rechargables. Had a few focusing issues, but out of over a hundred photos that isn't too bad. Camera worked great in clear water, not so well if it is cloudy. If you can't see well, neither can the camera (duh). You HAVE to let it soak in fresh water after having it in salt. I ran mine under medium-hot water from a faucet for about 5-10 minutes making sure at least all surfaces were rinsed for at least 2 minutes, especially the lens and LCD. Read the care instructions before using camera. I didn't like the pics it took out of water nearly as much as my Canon ELPH, but it was alright for a camera designed for underwater use. Overall very nice camera, worth the purchase if you have a similar trip in mind.


4 out of 5 stars A decent little camera, but not great   July 7, 2008

This is a decent little camera. There is a lot of shutter lag that is annoying. If you plan to take an action shot - one of your kids jumping into the pool, for example, you better press the button before they jump. You are going to get a blurry picture no matter what. If the kids are underwater, be prepared to go under and look at the screen to take a picture. If you wear contacts, you will need goggles. The pictures are fine, but are not as sharp as I had hoped.
