is this camera safe to take past 10ft of water?

No. I forgot what depth it could go when I went snuba-ing when I got to about 15 ft it started to freeze and shut off. It had a bit of water in it but I let the components dry and it works fine still.

No it is not, an excellent camera, i have it outside for 2 years now under a roof bezel, so water doesnt really get to it. It works to this day 100% perfect. I have bought 3 more since.

No. My camera lasted only 5 minutes in the water. I had to throw the camera away because it was probably going to cost more to fix it and they would not fix it. I had bought the camera 1 yr and 1 week earlier but had never taken it in the water. My husbands camera lasted slightly longer but it died about 3 months after first being in the water.

I used it with my Nikon which is similar in weight comparing to other waterproof cameras it perfectly floatted very strong support and cushion. You should not have a problem.

Hi Andrew, You can safely submerge and use your phone up to 100 feet. Taking pictures is still possible while submerged as long as you can still see the capture button on your screen. Hope that helps. Kind Regards, Angie/ECO-FUSED

maybe at 30-40 feet, on a clear day :-) I am very happy with the camera though. For what I use it for, it is perfect.

I don't know, but I wouldn't buy the camera in the first place. It claims to be waterproof, but within the first 30 seconds in the water there was water inside the screen and lens and the camera was dead.

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.

I did not use it under the water yet. It felt into the water few times when I climbed on the water falls in Jamaica and went to paddle board. This is not a touch screen camera.

I would go with Samsung's specs of 3m,as far as the warranty for water damage,I would check with Samsung. My personal opinion on anything such as camera's,etc. being able to be submerged is that unless you have a secure waterproof case designed for underwater use,I wouldn't use it for underwater pics. I bought this camera to take to the beach and if it got wet or fell into the water I felt it would take that kind of use(abuse) as compared to a regular digital camera.I hope this helps and sorry for long response.

The camera itself is not waterproof, but its case is. So as long as you have it in its case, then yes it is totally waterproof. Has it gotten wet without its case? Ya I've accidentally splashed it a time or two, if that happens I immediately turn it off and check to make sure I didn't get the internal parts wet. So try not to get water on it when its outside its case. I've taken it free diving in its case to depths deeper than 60 feet and, it can go down about 200 feet.

Personally, I got it in a river to a depth of a meter or so. Just took a dip after rafting :-)According to the following URL, it can be underwater "to a depth of 197' (60 m)":http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/887139-REG/Sony_hdras15_b_HDR_AS15_HD_Action_Camcorder.html

Not if you plan on going deeper than a foot or two. I took mine down about 10 ft and the camera was ruined. GoPro or camera with a diving housing is the way to go.

I never had any trouble under 10 feet. After 10, it depends on the surroundings and the source.

sorry - I really wouldn't trust it any where near water! the battery compartment is not that secure. hope this helps!!

The camera is somewhat weather-proof but not exactly waterproof. It can withstand getting a bit wet in the rain or some splashes in a kayak but if it were submerged in the water, it will almost certainly get ruined.

I used the camera on a recent dive trip. I had the LCD back so used the GoPro Hero 3 housing (not +) because it could accommodate the LCD back.So yes the camera is good in deep water in the housing. The Hero 3+ housing also works in water (you need to put the correct back on the case in either situation ..3 or 3+)
