I have two questions, 1. is the product new or refurbished? 2. I saw a lot of reviews saying it's not really waterproof. Is it true statement?

The camera I purchased from Amazon was listed as "used", but it arrived sealed in the blisterpack and my impression was that it was new. Although I've never attempted to use it underwater, I did take it on a 4 day white water rafting trip and it came through great. It's small and easy to use. It was exposed to a lot of water, but I had no issues with it getting wet and the pictures and videos are great. I especially like the ability to take still shots from the videos. My only complaint is that some of the accessories for the "dry" version aren't available for the water proof model.

I received it new, had the same problem as other reviewers, as soon as I brought it into the water it died. I agree, stay away.

I received this product brand new from Amazon, in it's plastic sealed packaging. For me, the product works as stated, as in it was WATERPROOF. So far I had no problems..... cheers!

it was new and i made a waterproof case for it because i heard that it wasn't waterproof in the ocean and so i didn't want to take any chances. It was an ok camera, low definition but i lost it in the ocean while surfing so it didn't turn out well. I ended up just getting a go pro. there are many other cameras out there, wait a little longer and buy the best product and make sure you don't drop it in the ocean. haha.

The one that is being offered I have no idea if it's refurbished or not. I love it. My daughter also has it and uses it constantly. Just snap or video, hook up to your USB in your computer and download. That's it. As for waterproof. Haven't taken it in the water but, for the price, it's great. I even bought one as a gift. Hope this helps. It's NOT a piece of junk as stated below.

Product cannot go more than 3' underwater or the rubber USB covers will collapse and will kill the camera. It happened to us and many others and we all now have a $30 brick. Stay away.

It was a new, in the box camera. We did have some issues with the waterproof statements. However, when it stopped working, Kodak replaced it with a new camera. Thus far, we have not fully tested the replacement.

The product was new. The very first time we try to take pics in our pool, water got inside and it didn't work anymore. Its true, don't waste your money on it. Look for something else.

If you look at the LifeProof packaging, it would lead you to think it is fully waterproof. That is just NOT the case(pardon the pun). My son had it in the water for less than 30 seconds and water was in the case. The phone is ruined and LifeProof is not going to replace it...but they would replace the case with another. LOLI just don't get it. I really don't. DO NOT buy one. This is your warning...it has now cost me over $500 to replace everything because we were not eligible for a replacement phone by ATT...yet. NO FUN!

I can't answer this from my usage, but the Amazon product description does not indicate that it is waterproof.

The unit linked to appears to be new. I purchased a refurb that proved not to work, and on the second go-round purchased new. The improvement over my old unit (Harmony 800--I think) was stunning. Nearly all of the things on the old unit that drove me b@tSh#t had been fixed. It really is a sweet unit.

I have been using it almost every day for over two months and never had that problem. My buddy also got one and he hasn't had any problems with his either. I was leary about buying a refurbished unit too but now I am definitely glad I did.

Idk but I would not look at this product as much of a water proof device. If I had to guess from having the thing I would guess it is somewhat waterproof on both sides but should be cleaned right away in my opinion.

Well, just about nothing is considered "waterproof" anymore! Even watches in most cases are considered "water resistant" these days! That being said, I have already gotten mine wet and no problems.

No, it also is not a good product. It is NOT waterproof and very, very bulky. I don't even use mine.

It seems to be original, however it is not waterproof as it's stated, get ready to send it back, unless the ruggedness is not an issue for you

I have no idea if it's waterproof or not, it doesn't say anything about that I would check with the seller if I were you

I don't think it's waterproof, I return mine after I tested on the range, the quality was not what I expect.

As far as I know, it is brand new (refurbished in the factory), but it does not have the full warranty. I got one in July and it`s working perfectly. I have other experiences with refurbished equipment and never had any problem. Maybe it`s interesting to contract a third-party warranty just as an addiitonal protection.

I'd had no problem with mine so don't know how to fix it. When you say 'new',how new is that? If it's still under warranty, go that route. Someone mentioned cleaning it and I think this is important. I do it every Sat. morning without fail.

I am not sure if the unit is waterproof, I am guessing it has some water resistance built in but I am guessing if it was they would say it on the packaging.
