I purchased this to take to the Caribbean for snorkeling pics. it worked great. A couple of notes - difficult to aim the camera at the correct target while under water - the screen is on the darker side, and the case makes it darker. Also - the speed of the pictures being taken is a bit slow. it is a good camera for the price - i let my grand daughters (4 and 6) use it because it wasn't really expensive. Overall it is a great camera for the price.
