I wanted to purchase an underwater camera but, the only reason I'm purchasing this is because I want to take photos underwater. Is that possible??

I purchased one. I only used it once last year but worked well and look forward to using it more this summer. You want to make sure inside is free from dust/dirt before putting pad inside. Just keep sealed even when not using and pad is clean also. I like mine

I don't think I would use it underwater. I think it is just meant to keep the weather (sand/rain/snow) from harming the tablet.

yupI use my phone/tablet in this underwater all the time, thought I can't speak to the clarity of any pictures taken underwater(though I imagine they would be quite clear).

Yes Andrea is possible and you are able to take videos too. Hope this help. Regards Fer

I have been using the G1X (the orginal G1X, not the MkII) underwater since it was released. I use the Canon WP-DC housing for it, which are pretty compact and give you a full range of controls underwater. I have been very happy with the results. You can check them out on my Flickr page: flickr.com/photos/bluewavechris . The image quality is better than my previous G series cameras underwater, due to the larger sensor. Not quite as good as my DSLR quality underwater, but that is understandable due to lens quality/glass size more than anything else. The G1X gives me excellent images without the bulk of a DSLR housing in the water.

has anyone taken this camera diving. If so can you share your comments if it's a scuba diving camera?

Love the camera. Don't know as I never tried the GPS underwater. But my experience with GPS is the signal is weak and I would tend to believe a shallow depth of water would block signal. With that said got try it and let me know.

I think the pic quality is good. The pre setting modes work great. Bought this camera to use in Hawaii and took a lot of pics outside of water and they came out nice. We took a high end dlsr cam but used this one about 80% of the time. FYI the underwater pics were pretty good. Just try not to zoom in on things underwater andale sure you have it on the underwater mode. Hope this helps

This camera is a piece of crap. I don't think it's designed to go under water for diving.

Did you have any other issues with the camera? I am weighing between buying this camera or the Pentax underwater camera-WP10. I will use this camera to do a website on the Thousand Islands in Cocoa Beach as well as in the Bahamas underwater snorkeling so any input would be appreciated. How was the battery life? Easy to operate, such as spacing between the buttons for big fingers? Thanks and have a good day.

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.

I seriously doubt that you can use this as an underwater camera. Not for this price. It works best under an eave with light rain hitting against it. Anything more than that I would say no. I haven't tried it but I wouldn't advise it

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.

It shots movies quite well.You would need to purchase Sony's waterproof case to use this camera underwater.Of course there is a warranty.

YES. The camera is fully submersible and functional underwater. There is even an underwater mode to eliminate the blue "tint" from underwater pictures and bring out the vibrant colors of whatever you are shooting underwater.

More water resistant than anything. I know there are some on the market you can submerge in water, but I love having a camera that works and a phone to talk on and I know you sacrifice on both of those with something that is completely waterproof.

Yes, it is an underwater camera and you can take it under water. We have used it under water during snorkeling, probably 30 minutes at a time. Works preety good.
