can you take video underwater ?

My son filmed an underwater GI Joe scene in the bathtub without any problems. Not sure if I would try to get to the stated waterproof depth, but the short answer is yes.

This thing didn't work from day one of opening the package above water let alone finding out if it was truly waterproof. Good luck.

yes, its waterproof for maybe for up to 2 ft under water. I took it on a cruise, used it on snorkeling excursion in Aruba.no problems, all was good.

Danilo & Kim are correct, it won't take stills while shooting video... still, it's a nice little camera. Did a great job underwater too.

Personally, I got it in a river to a depth of a meter or so. Just took a dip after rafting :-)According to the following URL, it can be underwater "to a depth of 197' (60 m)":http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/887139-REG/Sony_hdras15_b_HDR_AS15_HD_Action_Camcorder.html

Yes, you can use a SD card or a micro SD card with its adapter, I use mine with a 32 GB MICRO CARD and works jut fantastic in underwater video mode

Not really. A dedicated dive camera is better .. this one's depth rating is pretty shallow. 40f ~10 meters or so .. Most scuba activity is 10-30 meters (or more)

We love this camera, but we haven't taken it underwater (it has been splashed and drenched however), or tested whether it would float or not. My best estimate is that it would not float, we have always used the wrist strap when in an area where we could have dropped it into deep water. Sorry I can't answer this definitely.

It is pretty good even underwater, same with the video quality and it also records audio as well. I use a 32 gb external memory card so the resolution for still pictures and video were at maximum

It should be fine.. You can take pictures underwater. It is sealed very well! It tells you in the manual what to do. Hope this helps.

I haven't used it underwater, but it is plastic. The only thing I would think is its accuracy in that situation for white balancing your shots or video. That would require some testing.

Non whatsoever - took great underwater pics. We love this camera for traveling- compact, east use and takes great pictures!

I used it under water but the water wasn't very clear so I wouldn't blame the camera. The playback was high def but the sounds under water are fairly garbled as you may expect so you need to mute the playback or add music. For the price in the cam market it is great.

Yes, but I'm going to change my rating on this camera. It stopped working two weeks ago. I didn't use it underwater that much, but the last time my husband used it, it stopped working. From the reviews I'm reading now, it doesn't sound like the company is willing to help out. While fun to use underwater, I will not buy another one.

Yes, the camera does video. We got a decent video of our scuba diving trip, we were about 70 ft underwater and no issues. If the fish get to far away its more of an outline, but, for the most part it was worthwhile for us. It also takes pretty good pictures for an underwater camera. It is a very user friendly camera, especially for new divers.

You can shoot as video underwater also and with the cover in place. It was an expensive but excellent purchase. The cons were it is bulky to pack and I could not use the view finder I had to use the large screen for viewing. I am sure you can use the viewfinder I just did not take the time to read the directions. Good luck!

It takes great pictures underwater and even videos with sound underwater. It's only rated for up to three feet underwater but I've been very pleased with this product!

I believe that the camera can be used under water, BUT it has to be in a waterproof case. I am not sure how this "feature" makes it different from any other camera, but that is my understanding

Yes, but I would not use underwater. The seam split on mine but I was just using to take pictures in the rain - not actually underwater.
