Don't buy this camera!! Mine went in the ocean and within minutes of being layed on the surface (testing the seperately purchase floating strap) water got into the sd card slot and has rendered the camera useless. Everything was checked before going into the water, no sand or dirt or visiable dust was on it and still it did not perform as advertised!!

Here you go. Next time just use Google. Google'd "ex-g1 underwater" and this came up.http://www.flickr.com/photos/akiko_photo/4342988849/in/photostream/

Amazingly the still photos come out great. In comparison to other cameras like this, the Intova quality in the stills are better. My boyfriend and I are scuba instructors and both use this for video and stills. A lot of our divers have purchased this camera.

Being that this camera was only just released between the end of February and early March of this year, you kind of have to rely on first impressions. I don't know what your definition of "a while" is, but the longest usage you'll see is 11 weeks, give or take. It's a decent camera. No underwater use yet since it's not yet warm enough for that.

Bob, did you ever find out? I just ordered the camera and want to know the same thing! Thanks for any help.

It is probably good for diving. I used in to go caving and it was submerged in water many times and performed well. The only difference with diving would be that you would go deeper. This camera took a beating and continued to work well.

It does go under water just fine. We didn't buy the camera for the quality, but rather for taking on trips where we wouldn't want a quality waterproof camera stolen. Like a cruise. It takes pictures well enough that we can capture the moment. At the same time, it can get dropped in the water or take pictures while snorkeling, whatever we need. AND...we don't have to worry about it being very expensive.

I have used it for over a month. Amazing video quality and great underwater shots - very clear and vivid colors!But I dont recommend this cam if you are intending to use it on a regular basis - landscape shots, portraits and other "upwater" shooting.http://www.nikonusa.com/en/Nikon-Products/Product/Compact-Digital-Cameras/26461/COOLPIX-S32.html

There is one that I know of fire this camera, you can find it searching Amazon or eBay. It is crazy expensive and it costs more than the camera. I'd suggest one of the bag style universal cases for underwater.... They work well enough for a casual weekend scuba diving anyways.

First of all sorry my poor English, second, I don't think you can consider a GoPro similar a DSLR camera. With GoPro you have a fish eye (a lot of distortion) to do a portrait or a family photo for example. In my opinion if you don't practice a sport or don't have necessity to take the camera underwater you have to consider to buy a regular camera like a DSLR or a similar one. Best regards and good look!

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

I have been very satisfied with this camera...................but as with any underwater camera, the lights are needed at any kind of depth...............the videos are also very good

O wish I could answer for you. We used the camera while at the beach and the camera was never underwater for that length of time. It never leaked, though.

Hey Sean,I am eager to see your new posts about your camera. Since the prices are dropping dramatically here, I will order one soon myself. On another site, someone said that one of the issues with people... not the camera is that they keep expecting it to do what a DSLR (I think that is right/ I am inexperienced here) does. What are soft images?

Hi Dennis - I returned mine immmediately, I found it impossible to use with my camera. For my snorkeling trips I purchased a panasonic underwater camera.

honestly? It was more trouble than it was worth. The camera would heat the inside with it'simple photo use and fog up the INSIDE lens. It's difficult to make the camera fit well and then to handle the camera in the water on top of this I wish I had purchased an inexpensive underwater camera. MY DiCap is going up for sale on ebay...interested?

I have only used mine once. I am finding it is kinda a joke to use. I would love to return it. Or even sell it.. But other then that it is good for someone who loves to take photos from afar.
