Title: Stay away from extended salt water exposure
Review: I purchased this camera for use outdoors and in the ocean. For the most part it held up, I dropped it a couple times, had it out in the rain, used it whole snorkeling. However, after using it less than 10 times snorkeling in the ocean (I would soak in fresh water following the instruction after snorkeling) the camera shut down. I realized water had entered the camera because the seals failed. I didn't dive more that 20 feet deep. I also noticed additional corrotion on various parts of the camera. So now I need to return it, but have zero faith the new camera will perform any differently. I may consider purchasing a waterproof cover for the camera when I dive in the ocean, not sure if they make one though. Another complaint is the slow picture speed. Other than that, it is rugged, and would suit someone who wants to throw a camera in the backpack on their next hike.I warn against using this as a diving camera or surf camera.
Is the review positive or negative?
