Is the camera waterproof? My dog jumps in the lake often.

In the course of their outdoor wanderings, cats and dogs can find themselves in humid or wet environments. Thanks to its waterproof casing, this video camera can be used in wet or damp conditions and even in the rain. However, this camera is water resistant, not water proof to be submerged in water (like when your dog decides to take a dive or have a swim in the lake!).

No it's "splash proof" which is only light splashing. Actually the camera part will probably do ok. But the microphone will probably die once it touches the lake. Splash proof is only light rain or a splash while drinking water.

It is water resistant, but not water proof. It has an open USB port that has a plug...that will easily let water into the device if submerged. It would not survive jumping into the lake...but probably would survive a sprinkler or rain as it is located under the neck with the collar clamp.

Great little cam but I highly doubt it is waterproof in any sense of the term.....my suggestion - don't take it on a water ride !

My camera is completely waterproof. I have 3 small children and that is the best test for shock and under water. Over a year now and it is as sturdy as can be. Don't expect very high quality pics but for normal use is very good. And fun...

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.

yes its waterproof. i have to scottish terriers that love to play in the water so i bought them a big kiddie pool. they play in it all day with no problems. it does not seem to effect the battery length either.

this camera is not waterproof. i have one on an enclosed porch that is not heated and it works fine.

This works great! Even though we haven't replaced the dead battery's yet, we still put it our dog and he just knows what will happen! Don't know if it's waterproof, but for the price it's worth a try! Good luck!

We got two of these. IMO it is the best bridge camera out there. It is weather sealed, and we've had no problem taking it out in a light drizzle; I wouldn't risk heavy rain or putting it under a waterfall...hope this helps. If you can, follow @brimarkphoto on twitter for more.

Yes, it is waterproof. However, it snaps a lot of nothing shots. The battery compartment got a bunch of some type of bugs in it while out in the woods.

The camera appears to be waterproof, but I am very disappointed with the quality of the picture in the mirror, During the day it is so weak that it is not legible. I cannot recommend it.

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

No, like the majority of these cameras it is neither. I may use it in a little drizzle but am careful around water and always tether it to my wrist.

Kim, the short answer is yes. This is a great waterproof camera and truly unbeatable at its price point. I do not think you will be disappointed with it.

The camera is waterproof, I used it while snorkeling in about 6 feet of water and it worked great taking some very good photos. For the price, you cannot beat it.

I absolutely did not encounter this issue... this camera took excellent pictures both in and out of the water. However, one thing you may want to check, if you are taking dry pictures (not in the water), be sure that the scene mode is not set to shoot under water... that is sure to create some image quality issues.

It is water and weather resistant, not meant to be submerged for underwater use. Pentax also carries a waterproof line of cameras, the WG line

The Cameras for the most part are waterproof. I put silicone grease on the power and video connectors. I have had them over six months outdoors in the rain and snow with no problems.
