can this be used to film under water? if not, any reccommendation for which camera for filming under water?

While entirely waterproof for diving, this is the old version of HD Hero and I believe you have to buy a special flat lens for underwater. Likewise with the Hero2. However, with the newer Hero 3 and 4 models, they come with the flat lens. The best thing to be sure is to call GoPro and ask them.

I haven't had the opportunity to try it out under water, but it does operate differently. I tried it out at home and the photos are blurry unless you have the lense set at maximum exposure (all the way out). It then takes clear photos. This means to me that you better be ready to use it when it is in that mode before it automatically turns off during your power saving mode.

I only used the camera for snorkling, 3 to 4 feet. It did very well at that depth. The specs say it is only good to 10 feet.

Underwater, I don't know but on land should be fine if you are not jumping around and shake it off and depending on how heavy your camera.

Yes, it works great for taking pictures underwater. It's a bit of a pain to put it together (bring a quarter with you for the screw) but I felt for the price it was worth it rather than having to buy a separate underwater camera. You can check out the underwater pictures that I took with it:https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.4610894505961.1073741825.1100453072&type;=1&l;=3f01417080

I have used the camera in it's underwater case. The video is fine as long as you don't go so deep that it gets dark. The video playback is excellent. I have two of these cameras and am very pleased.

Hi. Unfortunately I have not use the camera in water. I use the camera to tape my taekoando classes. Soory. But I believe that the manual tells you how deep it can go. Hope this help.

I wouldnt try. I couldnt get my camera to stay on it and ended up returning it. I doubt it would work better in the water

You can take pictures underwater. I have taken quite a few it has worked well for me on those occasions

Yes! This is a terrible camera! I bought it because I was going to a water park with my family. After it went underwater (less than 3 feet) a couple of times it stopped working. I opened it up and noticed water had gone in through the casing even though it was closed correctly. Besides that the focus and zoom is terrible! I took it back and got my money back right away. There are newer and better waterproof cameras out there and I would invest in a different model/brand. Sorry for the delay in my response.

Not sure about using this underwater, you should call samsung and ask if they have waterproof casing and ask up to what depth the camera will function. This camera will function up to 20-30F in cold weather, my other canon wont work in these cold temps.

There is one that I know of fire this camera, you can find it searching Amazon or eBay. It is crazy expensive and it costs more than the camera. I'd suggest one of the bag style universal cases for underwater.... They work well enough for a casual weekend scuba diving anyways.

I does shoot video, but I didn't try any underwater. I puchased an 8 GB Micro SD card (which is the most memory the Camera takes)... Shot answer the camera did NOT come with a micro card.

This works best for video. I don't use it for stills. However I looked up the TG-3 and I would definitely use it for underwater diving and on land video. BTW I really like that camera, might be my next camera! If you can find a small tripod (like the Albinar 2 in 1) that is hand held like the opteka that would be great because it is fun to take selfies with your phone with this type of camera.

I would also say no.....pictures aren't that good anyway........get a 808 keychain camera and mount it with Velcro on your plane......decent pictures and decent price.......better yet, if youre looking for a low price camera, go for the Emerson Action Cam...about 40.00 and it comes with all sorts of mounts and also has decent pics and video.....I have 4 of them on my planes.....works under water too.

It is probably good for diving. I used in to go caving and it was submerged in water many times and performed well. The only difference with diving would be that you would go deeper. This camera took a beating and continued to work well.

Mmmmm...never thought of that. My husband has a GoPro and got a different extension that telescopes but did not use it under water. Sorry I could not be more of a help
