Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Don't buy this camera Comment: I bought this camera 2 months ago because I was heading out for a 3 month backpacking trip and I thought it would be brilliant - resilient, tough and waterproof. It was for about 3 weeks. I was in the water in about 1metre depth and taking pictures when the screen went dead. Taking it out I saw that there was condensation in the screen but after drying it and leaving it for 3 days the screen is completely dead. The camera functions but the screen does not work which is obviously very irritating! I've met at least 2 other people on my trip with the same camera who have also had it broken. Considering its being advertised as a tough waterproof camera it should be able to do that! That is the reason I bought it! Otherwise I would have bought a normal camera! In theory this camera is great but in practice it simply does not live up to its promises. If you want a waterproof camera I think you should just get a waterproof case for a normal camera. I have given it two stars because when it worked it was great. I took it body boarding in the ocean and it was fine. Its just a shame that it didn't last. Don't waste your money, buy a different camera. Customer Rating: Summary: Tough Camera Comment: Finally time to upgrade my camera, Thought i would go for something a little more rugged, as I did not always carry my previous cameras in case i damaged them. Took a couple of Photos, then it was straight into the water as it was a sunny day (water was baltic by the way). Preformed well under water as well as above. I did not go any deeper that 2m but the camera was fine, made sure I washed it well in fresh water after is "salt bath". I cannot fault this camera, does exactly what it says it will do, tough and rugged to boot. No need to buy an expensive under water housing for shallow depths. Good choice if you have young children as well, as there is little risk of them damaging it. Only flaw was no card came with the camera, it does have internal memory, but a free card would of been nice More Reviews
