Nice little camera great for bike riding and canoing. Shoots all outdoor pictures with ease and can take good low light level sun rises/sets by reducing the ISO speed to 200 and mounting in a tripod. Comes with a lens snap in ring that takes standard 46 MM filters - good for adding a ND filter to help slow the shutter speed for special effects on bright days.

I bought this camera for the waterproof feature , everything else in features it came with was a bonus. Two other guys and I do alot of fishing in the Gulf of Mexico, both kayaks and wading so that is the need for waterproofing.Just got back from Tampa St.Pete area and the camera performed exactly as described.The picture quality and zoom are perfect, very operator friendly a plus when offshore in a kayak .One very satisfied buyer with a camera that performs as it claims
