 - Picture this!!!This camera is one of the finest products I have ever purchased from Amazon. The camera, by itself, takes superior pictures. It even made me look good. The housing, with its double O-ring system stays dry even on the deepest dives. Down-loading to our computer, whether laptop or PC, is delightfully easy. If you have ever thought of buying an underwater camera, this is the one for you. Rating:  - does not workTook out of the box and the first time I wanted to use it ,it does not work the lens will not come out and it keeps on clicking. Unable to send back while next month has I am out of USA at the moment, hope I get a replacment Rating:  - It does the jobAfter much research, I purchased this camera mostly because it fit in my price range. Not sure why, but the housing is cheaper than most others like it and you get a camera too! I just got back from a diving trip to Honduras and the pictures are ok. The closer you are to the surface, the better the pictures. Alot of the photos were greenish-blue and not very vivid, but for the price you pay, it is an excelent way to remember a dive. I would rather take another diving trip than pay for a camera, but that is just me. The housing is very tough and didn't leak at all. The screen is sometimes hard to see underwater, depending on the sunlight. The camera is slow to take pictures, but you get used to it after a while. I would definitely recomend getting a large memory card and rechargable batteries. (the disposable ones only last about one dive) The functions are more than adequate and I enjoyed the video mode which also captures sound underwater! I recommend this camera and would purchase it again. It is a great deal for the price! Rating: - Good basic underwater cameraThe Intova IC600 is a good basic underwater camera for the price. The waterproof housing worked great on two scuba dives down to 60 feet. The camera has several nice features including a flash that works in auto, flash off, flash on, and red eye modes. The flash is weak, and it has to be used close to your subject in clear water. The photos are of nice quality. You can experiment with white balance settings to give different color qualities underwater. The housing allows for 46mm filters to be attached, although the 85B filter I used tended to give photos a green hue. Intova offers an underwater filter that may or may not help. Definitely use rechargeable Ni-Cad batteries with the camera as they last longer than regular batteries, which get eaten up fast. The rear screen is hard to see through the housing in sunlight, but is slighty easier to read underwater. This is the perfect underwater camera for the occasional scuba diver or snorkler who wants to see immediate results and preserve underwater sights with good quality photos. The camera takes standard SD cards up to a couple gigabytes, and by taking numerous photos, you're bound to get a few keepers. Rating: - poorThis seems like a good deal: durable waterproof housing, 6mp, optical zoom. However, there are 2 major problems with this item. The flash is useless when in the housing. I wrote to the company and was told that they don't recommend using the internal flash and I should get an external flash. The second problem is that the screen is almost impossible to see when outside. It is like trying to look through a mirror. Most of the time, when taking pictures, I had to just guess. I can take better pictures with a disposable camera. For these reasons, I returned this item.
