Intova Digital Sports Utility Camera




This review is from: Intova Digital Sports Utility CameraThis camera worked great in the pool and the Carribean Sea. The pictures were very good if you or your subject did not move too much. No water got in the camera case. Pictures of objects in the distance were distorted on the ends due to the camera case. I purchased this camera and a digital camera maskLiquid Image Exploer Series 3.1MP Underwater Mask - Digital Camera that cost $150. This camera took pictures almost as good as the $150 model. We used it for 2 weeks without troubles. Take lots of photos, or use the video for a minute or less. Larger video files can slow down computers during playback....

This review is from: Intova Digital Sports Utility CameraI found this camera to be a huge nuisance to use. Both photographer and subject must remain perfectly still or picture will be blurry..no forgiveness there. Unfortunately, this is always difficult with any water sport or activity. Also, the shutter button is very difficult to push (as are all of the buttons) and the overall size of the camera is very small, both adding to the difficulty of holding the camera still when taking pictures. Abundant light is required or, again, your pictures will come out blurry. Many of my photos were distorted, too. For example, my fishing pole in some pictures was wavy, likely caused by glare off the plastic case and, more so, distortion caused by light shining though the multiple (6) raised dots on the case (I suspect these are a novelty added to the case design to resemble water drops). The viewfinder is only about an inch square, so it is essentially impossible to use other than to get a general idea where your subject is located, especially for videos. It is difficult to see if the camera was still recording or not. Daylight makes it that much harder to see anything in it. Finally, it would frequently shut off. Not sure if this is a power saving function, but it became very irritating during use. I will cut my loses on this camera and buy something else. The only pluses I found with the product were the case remained water tight during use and USB download of the pics and videos is straight forward. Oh, there was no memory card included...the packaging states a memory card up to 2MB can be used. I purchased one seperately....

This review is from: Intova Digital Sports Utility CameraThere is nothing terribly special about this camera. It's better than nothing, but don't expect much out of it. You do have to hold still or else the image will be blurry and that it is pretty hard to hold still in the water with any kind of waves.The video quality is pretty good. I thought it was a better video camera than still picture camera....
