HI, I am interesting in the camera, only I have a question. Do you know if I can find any kind of housing? Because when I diving the deep is not enoug

I'm not sure but I don't think there is any housing designed to let you take the camera deeper. It seems to me that the controls on the camera are not well adapted to being placed in a housing.

This camera was designed to use without a box and for shallow dives and underwater fun with kids in a swimming pool etc. You may want to look for another camera that has its own box and made the use you want.

I don't believe this camera is really a "dive" camera, it's more of a snorkeling/pool camera. It's only rated to 49' which as you mention isn't really scuba depth. Nikon shows the camera being used this way but really it's not up to anything but shallow dives. I have used it extensively snorkleing & in the pool. Max depth I've tested is 12', worked fine.

I don't know as I've not tried it yet. Do know that the housing fogged up so I'm guessing pictures didn't work. Again, I've not actually viewed the video i took, but from past underwater camera experience, if the housing is fogged there is no way a good pic can come out.

Hi Lisa, I took pictures at an indoor water park. The pictures came out okay. I just scrapbook the pictures, I don't typically blow them up to 5x7 or 8x10. So, for my use the pictures are fine. The fast movements were a little blurry. I have not taken any underwater pictures yet. I took the camera outside for our school snow days. Those pictures in the sunlight were bright and colorful. The fast movements came out okay. I have a few inside pictures during the day and they look pretty good. I have one picture taken at night in my bedroom. My navy blue shirt looks great, but my face is a little orange/yellow and the bedroom in the background is not crisp at all. I think the lighting is responsible for that. I have a few movies on the camera, but can't play them. They are MOV. I tried Quicktime, movie maker, media player. I'll have to play around with it. I hope I don't have to convert these. So, at the moment I can't give you any information on the movies. I wanted the camera to take out to the pool and so far it seems like it will work great for our use. Please let me know if I can help with any else. I'm not sure what you mean by artifacts. I don't think graininess is an issue, but I'm just a mom taking pictures of kids and my photography knowledge is limited.

I brought it into the ocean at only a shallow depth and my camera was ruined from the moisture. I would not bring it diving.

Hi Nancy, I love my tiny 300HS and have taken hundreds of photos and videos underwater all over the world with it. For that matter, hundreds more topside. I've had several U/W cameras/housings over the years (mostly Canon) and even some I made myself. This WP-DC41 and 300HS are winners. I've also purchased other UW cameras since: GoPro and Panny, but the tiny 300 wins. Hint: As you know, color is wimpy (mainly blue/gray) under water unless you use artificial lighting (strobe). The 300 HS built-in strobe is OK for close-in shots, but for more oomph, check out the inexpensive Intova UW slave strobe (search INTOVA). (Get the fiber-optic cable with it and tray). Happy diving!

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.

In my opinion, I would buy a newer camera instead of this housing, mainly because the high price of this old housing, if it was cheaper I might consider to buy it, but nowadays I would go with a goPro or something newer with better specs.

The camera isn't waterproof. I think it's if you purchase one of those underwater cases.

Pretty sure you choose wen to stop filming..We've done some extensive underwater filming & it turned out great!

I have not dived deep with it yet. However the waterproof case appears quite capable. I did drop the camera in some deep mud once without the case. I immediately took the battery out and held my breath for a day while it dried out. Water had gotten in pretty deep yet it survived. Either I was lucky or the camera can take a little moisture. I also own the SJ1000 and the two are very similar in their cases, apparent innards, menu system, and mounts. The mounts that come with these are good for nearly any situation but of course this greatly depends on the application for which you will use it. There is no window suction cup so if you intend it for a dash cam you will have to get one separately. If you intend it for a helmet there are straps that should suffice. I mount mine on a bike sometimes and found that the accessories are not designed to wrap handlebars very well, but with all the odd attachments I found a way to make it work. The quality is very good. There is a small bit of grain if the settings are not on full quality. Of course if you expect do any post production image stabilization then that will crop down a bit. Carrying the camera by hand will make for a bumpy, dizzy video, no matter how stable your hand is. I have a monopod which I often attach mine too. Carrying the monopod naturally has a stabilizing effect. If you want an accessory I would recommend a telescoping action cam pole. That way you can extend it out in front of you for those great panoramic selfies, or lift it up above a crowd for a bit of an aerial view.

Underwater the standard doesn't work fine. If you want to go under you must buy this housing. I didn't buy the filters and it worked really amazing without them.

has anyone taken this camera diving. If so can you share your comments if it's a scuba diving camera?

If I have the GoPro 3+ Does it also come with the underwater housing that can fit both the camera and the LCD Pack? Thanks a lot if someone can help answer

Happy to help. There are various types of products ranging from completely water-tight enclosures made for diving to "raincoats". I'm afraid I can't recommend a specific product but one of these should help. I might also consider putting your camera gear on your homeowners insurance policy just in case.

Yes. Was recently in the Galapagos Islands. Great Camera. Great underwater shots!!

This camera is great and I have never used a camera in a housing before. The downside to this camera is that after you get out of the water there are spots on the lens that need to be cleaned carefully. I assume a housing would keep the lens clean and you wouldn't risk scratching it while cleaning it. Other than that, this camera is awesome under water.
