Problems with controls when inside the waterproof

Verified Purchase:Yes
The record/function button on the rear of the camera became difficult to use with the case off and would not work at all with the case on. The video was great quality and still frames remained clear and I was able to stop action in freeze frame shots. It could be that the control issue is an isolated indecent with this particular unit.

What's great about it: Great picture, long battery life
What's not so great: First trip out and the function button would no longer work with the waterproof case on.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great low light ability.

I purchased this camera to use in surveillance efforts as a private investigator. It has ample storage with the built in hard drive and two SD card slots which hold up to 32 gig cards. It has a 200 X digital zoom. and a manual focus ring which is very important when manual focus is necessary without opening the side screen and lighting up your face at night. The option of using the view finder at night is a real plus because many cameras don't offer an alternative to viewing through the main screen. The low light capabilities are astonishing and can be controlled from the rear of the camera with the screen closed. It is easy to off load video onto the computer but does not transfer date and time with the USB cable connection. This is a bit of a downside because date and time is rather important for my application. The choices around this are to off load with RC connections and settle for lower quality or to off load through a device such as the hauppauge or similar device which allows the video to be transferred from the camera through the HDMI cable. This keeps the date and time stamp and gives incredible picture quality. This camera is light weight which is a plus but does take several seconds to read the drives before it will record when first powered on. That delay could be costly if an important shot is missed; but overall it is as good as it gets for now.
