Good close up video possible with this camera? Using a Gopro to take a closeup video underwater comes out looking more far away.

About the same as GoPro. Mine stopped working during vacation and Amazon will not give me a refund. Stay away from this camera.

Intova Sport Pro as well as GoPro have a wide angle lens, that's the reason objects looks to be more far away. I do not know whether they offer a close up attachment lens.

unfortunately I bought this camera for my son and he has not used it for close up so I can not answer your questions. Sorry

Yes. Unlike the GoPro, the shape of this camera allows for you to get the shot you're looking for.

I use my GoPros to film underwater on a downrigger. I tried the new case only one time, as it leaked from the bezel at less than 85 feet. The good news as stated, if you have a regular 3 Black, is that the new camera will fit into the old housing. I have had my 3 Black camera down to 195 feet, and believe it or not, there was enough light to see what was going on. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXSgMSmyfOM And here is some footage in clearer water over 100 feet deep. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRPbdCpXzTQ

Yes!! Make sure to the high speed class 10 card and the video will be seemless. I was blown away the quality in both underwater and above water shots. And while others have complained about digital drop out, I had no problems using the faster SDHC micro card.

No remote and yes GoPro has a great selling points but is a peace of crap, one of the most annoying things for me is that gets overheated..... in less than 30 seconds the underwater case wets so much fog and makes it impossible to continue shooting.... and good luck trying to clean it every 10 seconds in the middle of surfing... lol

I looked at the Go Pro but the Intova appears to be better for underwater video, which was my primary requirement.

I used it with the underwater case and the case is great. I had the camera set to Auto ISO and when snorkeling and pointing the camera down in shallow spots, the camera set the ISO to very high numbers. The good thing is it let me capture moving things but unfortunately that led to grainy photos. I guess it's better to at least have gotten no blurring. I had to adjust black levels up a lot to get nice photos underwater. Video came out good underwater except for the fact that you can hear the lens zooming and that is annoying. Can't believe they overlooked that and of course it isn't mentioned in their literature. I used it with the underwater case and the case is great.

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.

no its pretty clear. but you can't really take any pictures under water because the touch screen wont work underwater. I just press record then replay the video to the scene i like than screen shot it. also when you go under water it zooms in and out on its own. I think its because its sensing the water pressure.

Good question. I do free diving and 10 meters presents no problem. Its seal is super water tight. What I don't know is what the depth limit is. I'd write to GoPro about that. They should know.

Hi Jeff, Is a good feature, but is not a proffesional camera, the macro function is as good as the software of the camera. I use it diving, snorkeling and in caverns and works perfectly. I try it with a penny and I can see all the details of the penny.

I took the Goscope to Grand Cayman coral reef diving it worked great in the salt water. I did wipe it down with a light oil spray afterwards for storage, it probably didn't need it. Goscope is a must have accessory for the gopro camera.

My guess is no because the GoPro shoots in an odd codec of MP4. I typically have to convert this in Final Cut or it makes my computer choke.

Yes you can take stills underwater. You can also take stills from the video that are pretty good quality.

I have used it for over a month. Amazing video quality and great underwater shots - very clear and vivid colors!But I dont recommend this cam if you are intending to use it on a regular basis - landscape shots, portraits and other "upwater" shooting.http://www.nikonusa.com/en/Nikon-Products/Product/Compact-Digital-Cameras/26461/COOLPIX-S32.html

I have the older version of the Pentax waterproof camera, the Optio WR43. It has worked great for me. I was thinking of upgrading to the new Optio 90. It supposedly does HD. I used my older optio WR43 for taking kayaking. I have special helmet that I strap it onto so I can film going off of waterfalls and stuff, 20 to 25 footers. I also used it Paragliding one time. Here is my Kayaking video using the Optio 43WR http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udX2ERY7R0s -Scott
