"very good photos from a small, waterproof camera" on by photo23
Pros: very good photos overall; excellent macro mode; high quality movies
Cons: flash is a little strong when used as fill
Summary: I'm pleased with the quality of the photos this camera takes. In terms of image quality, the movies are very close to camcorder quality, although the sound is mono rather than stereo. As another reviewer noted, the display is somewhat washed out when the camera is used in bright daylight conditions, although I found it definitely usable, and at least as good or better than the displays on other digital cameras I have.
The waterproofness of the camera is a big plus, and for me, makes this the camera of choice for "camera risky" environments, such as trips to the beach, hiking, river rafting, etc.
