Easy to use
This camera is very easy to use. The double o-ring ensures an airtight compartment with little or no hassle, particularly as compared to ikelite housings which are notorious for sealing problems unless you are very careful. The only downside so far is the incredibly short battery life. I have solved that by buying rechargeable batteries and keeping some with me in my dry bag. I am buying one of these for my daughter and her boyfriend for Christmas!

It does the job
After 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 cam...

Great Package for the money
This is my first underwater camera and for the money is does a good job. A couple of notes, when shooting underwater you need to set it up in Program mode, for cloudy day and always use the flash. The housing blocks part of the built in flash so you need to make or buy a diffuser. I made one with a translucent plastic top off a can of nuts. Attach it at the end of the lens opening on the underwater housing, I attached it with tie wraps. You really have to be close to your subject (less than...

Excellent Value
Camera works very well and has plenty of features. Waterproof case is very well made and easy to use (and it floats!!!). There were only 2 negatives: 1) Very difficult to see the LCD screen when using the camera underwater. I was able to get most of the shots I wanted just by pointing the camera. Used a high resolution so I could crop out what I didn't want. 2) It was also difficult to tell when I had pushed the shutter button half-way to focus the shot when using the underwater housing. I...

Good Diving Camera
This camera is excellent for diving in water that is well lit. (Hawaii, Carribean) I used this in Hawaii and it worked out great. I recommend getting the intova slave flash to get better lighting on shots deeper underwater. Overall a great snorkeling and dive camera.

Much more than I hoped...
In this modern day & age, we are sometimes sufficiently graced to "get what we pay for". I am happy to convey this boffo little dynamo gives your steady hand way more bang than expected. As an avid diver & photographer I did a lot of research, wedged between some mecha-$1000s set up with strobes out to the sides like insect eyes - and the stoopid $20 disposable film jobbies I'd hobbled by with for years.
Lucky to have found this camera; their (Intova) newer, more mega-pixeled versions...

Good basic underwater camera
The 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 t...

good intro underwater camera for scuba diving
Excellent entry level camera and housing for scuba diving.
As part of the planning for a trip to Hawaii where I would get
re-certified as a scuba diver, I looked for underwater cameras.
I choose this digital camera and housing because 1) price - I needed
a camera for this trip and don't know how much diving I will do in
the future, 2) camera and housing are separate so camera can be
used without the housing, 3) features - the camera has many
basic featur...

poor
This 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 pict...

good value- really sloooow on the take
good value
extremely slow to take picture (this is fine for dormant sea-life, turtles, rocks, etc... moving fish are generally not in frame. People shots. hold your breath a little longer...)
Did not leak.
Buy rechargeable AA batteries, very short battery life span- (changing batteries underwater not recommended.)
