It Is The Greatest Out There - Easy To Use Digital Camera Review

By Lillian Johnson


I'm still playing with it and learning all the options but I highly recommend the camera. It does all that it says it does; it is compact and burly. I want a camera that is not going to fill up every time we take it to the beach. I have been over and over the instruction manual trying to figure out if we are doing something wrong and I am coming up with nothing. Only caution I have is that the camera has limited capability in low light conditions. It's best to bring along a full size camera if you are shooting in low light or at least use a steady rest for the Stylus Tough. This is a handy feature I appreciate, but if I am taking fast moving action shots, this feature can be turned off in shooting menu 2, "REC VIEW." Once performed in accordance with the manual, photos can be taken immediately after one another. The camera leaked.

It's still working. I have to say, I've been through my fair share of digital cameras, all of which have gotten wet, dropped, knocked off tables and into pools and toilets and sinks, run over, eaten by dogs or just looked at the wrong way by my kids! I rated the durability at a 4 because after reading the review from the gentleman who left the camera on his golf cart, I was careful not to expose the screen to any sharp objects, but the screen was still scratched within the first week. This camera definitely needs a carrying case or maybe buy one of those cling-on screen covers used for cell phones.

I went to Florida for a while and was using a Canon. It was ok but definitely not waterproof! It does not have the zoom capabilities as some other cameras.

This float strap works great if you are afraid of dropping the waterproof camera but it sinking. It keeps the camera afloat and is bright and easy to see. Save your money and buy one with a separate underwater housing- wish I had now.

I hope it works as well under water. I bought this camera in November, owned it for a month and I dropped my purse with my camera in it and the camera broke. Pretty disappointing when you're trying to get a group shot. The panoramic setting is fantastic, super easy to use, and - oddly enough - picks up small details even from very far away.

I bought this camera to take on a trip to Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Park. Our itinerary included lots of hiking, kayaking and just outdoor activities in general. I took it to the beach multiple times, went snorkeling for a couple of hours, and use it for everyday shots. The pictures are crystal clear.
