Please, do not buy this camera. The Digital Hero, was my most foolish purchase in many years. If there is sun or bright light or glare, forget about it, if it is a gray day, well the photos are not much better. Frequently pressing the shutter release causes nothing to happen, despite patiently waiting for the LONG delay between pressing the button and taking the picture, when it does work. And then there are those mystery photos, where the horizon looks like a waterfall! It is a fixed focus camera, so nothing ever seems quite in focus. Reds bleed, bright objects bleed, I have seen better photos come from a cell phone. The toyish gimmicky wrist mount is cumbersome and awkward. I am comfortable and accomplished with a camera, have won several awards for underwater photography, but this camera is USELESS! I naively thought this would be a good way of taking snapshots in a kayak, I was wrong. A housing for my old Canon A10, would have been better. The cheapo drugstore 35mm for $19.99, I used to take kayaking, did better. An Olympus 720 is not much more money, but FAR BETTER. Don’t think I am being too critical, this thing really is garbage. I bought 80 or so photos in to work, seeking the opinions of people perhaps less discriminating, all agree the Hero is a ZERO!

es un buen producto, aguanta golpes y vibraciones, la he utlizado en mis montadas en bici todo terreno, aguanta golpes, pantano y lo mejor de todo, dejaremos el recuerdo de aquellos momentos inborrables de nuestras mentes y impresas en papel. aunque es a veces dificil poner en el recuadro de la foto el objetivo, gracias a la tecnologia digital y a la capacidad de memoria de 2 gigas, se pueden tomar todas las fotos que uno quiera para evitar que aquel “super momento” quede en pantalla.

Quality is awesome for something so small and at the price too… compare it with products twice it’s price!!!

The camera is really very small and very practical to use under water and in movement.
I’ve used it on a swimming pool, on waterfalls and on the sea as well, and the results were great! Still have not tried to use it on speed sports, though, but based on the results so far I believe it would have no problems to capture high speed scenes.

Update, on about the fourth attempt to use, the case broke, making it useless for underwater!
