I purchased this camera for my trip to Cabo and held up very well underwater and on the beach. Its affordable and easy to use. The only thing that I didn't like was that it was hard to change any camera settings because of the way its designed. My girlfriends loved it and they both bought one too.

I've now used this camera in the swimming pool, rafting, hiking, fishing, and it has even gone to the South China Sea.  So far it has held up well in dry, wet, and underwater conditions.  It is a good durable camera from my experience.

This camera can take some great photos - some coming close to equaling my DSLR.  However, I've found it wise to take more shots than you need, because it can also lose focus, over-expose, etc.  Maybe 20% of the shots are sketchy (in auto mode) - which is probably more or less in line with phone cameras and other mid-level point-n-shoots.

The interface and settings menus are generally easy to navigate.  I think many of these point-n-shoot cameras have tried to cram in so many functions that at times navigating the menus is a bit quirky, but I've kept it mostly in Automatic settings so I can't say I've probed too deeply on all the functions (using my DSLR for more advanced photography).

I was actually surprised at how good the video worked.  Combined with the waterproof aspect of the camera it is great fun to take with you on fishing, boating, and swimming adventures.  I've made some fun short movies of me and the dogs playing in the pool - including underwater.

No problems with the battery life.  I did by one back-up for longer trips, but haven't come close to going through two charged batteries in muliple week long trips.  My sense is you can get about three days of vacation pics (short video) on one charge.

Really my only complaint is that my thumb/finger is showing up on many photos and videos.  The ergonomics are not conducive to shooting with both hands (specifically your left hand).  Wouldn't be a deal killer for me, but definitely cost it a star rating.  Why not swap the lens location with the GPS towards the middle?

In summary, this is a darn good camera for what its designed for.

WATERPROOF - Felt funny putting it underwater the first time, but I was truly impressed by the quality of the pictures. One added advantage I never thought of or heard about was rain. I was always used to protecting my camera in the rain, but now I couldn't care less!
QUALITY - So far, I have taken several hundred pictures and the few disappointments have been my fault. The quality is great.
EASY TO USE - Everyone in my family has taken great pictures. The menu system is intuitive and simple.
ZOOM - 3x zoom is a slight drawback, but the other features make it worthwhile.
MOVIE - Pretty decent. The ability to take underwater picutres is great. Nothing like taking a movie of yourself jumping in the pool and having the camera catch the action above and below water.
OVERALL - I am very happy with my decision to buy this camera.

I bought this for work as I needed something that was water proof. It works well and handles going through the shower/decon without problem. It has a fairly wide angle lens which is perfect for my uses. Only zoom is digital, so that could be limiting for some people. Overall a good waterproof camera--rated to 33 ft (static), so I wouldn't take it snorkeling more than 10 feet or so as with dynamic movements I'd expect the seal to go. It spends most of its time on my desk and takes 10 or so pictures a week. Only needed to  charge it twice in 4 months, so good battery life.

It does have an attachment in the box to plug into the wall for charging or can also be plugged into usb port for charging. Not sure if pics will trasfer via cable---I take the card out and plug it directly into my computer to download pics.

I was looking for a sturdy waterproof camera for my daughter. I wanted a good quality camera that could stand up to the mishaps of an eleven year old. She is in love with this camera because of all of the neat features that it has. She is able to take selfies with the frontal view of the camera allowing her to see herself. It is shock proof and so far it stands up to that fact as she has dropped it several times, knowing at times she can be clumsy this camera has given me the tranquility to know that this camera will outstand some of the abuse.

The down side that I have found with this camera is that it uses batteries and no charger. We fixed the problem by buying recharger batteries, which is great because she uses the camera quite a lot. Using a 2gb seems to go pretty fast, so I definitely recommending to get a bigger mini memory card. This will help from needing to remove or transfer pictures to another device. The batteries seems to hold for the usage, so don't be scared that it won't last long. Definitely recommend the product!

Since I ordered this waterproof camera case, I have tried it out a couple of times to see how it worked.  It kept my camera dry and the pictures underwater were suprisingly good.  The camera fits a little loosely within the enclosure and it's a little difficult to use the camera controls through the soft plastic, but for the money, I can forgive those nuances.  I would definitely buy one again.

This is a great camera for an active person that wants to capture the daily outdoor activities. The price is good for the camera quality and has the plus of the durability and waterproofing.

Great pics, works great with optional underwater housing (good to about 140 feet).  Only complaint is LCD washes out in bright sunlight, but a good photographer will still get OK results.  Great for trips (small), and I can dive with it, too!  Not an SLR, but I don't generally travel with that.

I have owned quite a few waterproof cameras and have found them to be great for outdoor use in and around water.  While you cannot compare their quality to a good Dslr camera, they are great for their intended use.  I never go on a cruise without taking a water proof camera with me as many tours would ruin your regular camera or phone.

WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THIS CAMERA
1: Easy to use
2: Affordable (though a little more expensive than comparable waterproof models)
3: Tough/rugged design
4: Available in 3 colors
5: Decent picture quality
6: Image stabilization
7: Good battery life

WHAT I DO NOT LIKE AS MUCH
1: Flash is a little disappointing
2: Video quality is not the best

The downside of a waterproof camera is that  you pay mostly for it's toughness and not for it's image quality.  An acceptable trade off for me especially when I am in and around water.  All pictures are still beautiful and comparable to a lower budget point and shoot camera.  While I purchased this camera at a discount for my review, I rate all products based on their full retail price.  I rate this camera 4 stars based on 'toughness', image quality and price.

EDIT: after using it a little more, the little door to the side of the camera would no longer close.  This is problematic as that makes the camera no longer waterproof.  I was unable to get this part fixed no matter what I tried.  Seeing it broke so soon I have downgraded my rating to 3 stars.  I am not sure if this is an isolated and unique issue, or if this is a weakness of this particular camera.

Love this camera.  The photos I took underwater during a helmet dive in Cozumel were clearer than the professional photographers.  It also does great out of water.  Easy to use and fits in your pocket.

The LCD screen is almost impossible to view in certain outdoor circumstances like previously mentioned.  I haven't toyed with it long enough to find a solution.  I love the fact that it is waterproof.  We have the underwater housing for scuba diving but if that ever leaked just a little, the camera would survive (unlike its predecessor).  We also handed it (minus the underwater housing) someone standing in the water to take pictures.  The smile on my face was from knowing that if the camera was dropped in the water by accident, it wouldn't matter.  I also enjoy the size, having brought it into venues where "no cameras allowed" is stated but not thoroughly enforced. :)

This is my second Lumix Waterproof camera.  The camera shoots great pictures fast. The HD video is improved (not recommended for low light).  Best of all it's rugged and waterproof.  I have had other waterproof cameras, but the quality and amount of time to take a picture is not up to par with this one.  I would recommend a spare battery if you are going to use the camera all day.

DSLR's are not cheap. You don't yours to get ruined from the rain water. I recommend this item.

Great waterproof camera...took on a trip to Mexico and it worked perfectly in the pool and ocean. The bight yellow helps you see the camera clearly in the water

a nice camera once you learned to use it. This is my go to camera for events, i also like the idea of it being waterproof on fishing outings and outdoor activities. It looks nice, and for the short time using it , i give this a 5 star, no failures yet. it came on time, and for a point and shoot camera, i think it rates up there with the other waterproof cameras.
