I have been using DSLRs for several years, and currently use the Canon 40D and a wide selection of lenses. I bought this camera as a pocket camera that is easy to take anywhere, and for its HD video capability, as I'm currently in Thailand for several weeks doing some geology research for my master's thesis, and it's impractical and annoying to lug around my big camera everywhere. Therefore my expectations may be different - I am not expecting perfect image quality, full manual controls, etc., because I have my other camera for that kind of thing when I want it. I'm not sure that I would want this as my only camera, because the image quality isn't perfect, but if I didn't have a DSLR I don't think I would notice.

In any case, the main thing I have been using this for is taking HD video. This is excellent, and looks phenomenal on a computer screen. I haven't tried playing it on a TV but I assume it would look excellent there too. It is 720p, not 1080p like the new DSLRs will... Read more

This camera is great! Here's why I (filmmaker/parent)bought this one instead of others:
1. Wanted to shoot HD video anywhere, any time, without having to lug around my HVX.
2. Shoots on memory cards, unlike the Sony P.O.S. I bought that shoots HDV and if the camera breaks you're up a creek. If the camera croaks, at least I can get the footage/pics off of it.
3. I have kids, so I never know when I'm going to want to shoot it, and this camera is easily small enough to fit into a cargo pocket or pants pocket (I'd recommend getting a body glove neoprene cell phone sleeve to put it in - fits perfect).
4. I have kids, so it has to be waterproof/dusproof/indestructable since I want to take it to the pool, camping, hiking, etc.

Pros:
- Shoots video super-instantly and easily, recording with one button push vs. my wife's olympus which makes you go through menus.
- Video is SUPER-smooth, probably because of the super-wide angle lens. I mean, rediculously... Read more

I went going on a Carribean cruise which was going to include snorkling and scuba in addition to lots of beach time. I wasn't planning to get a new camera but I saw that some new underwater cameras were coming out and thought I would check it out. Now, first of all, I am a huge Canon fan and probably would have bought their underwater camera (DC10 I believe), if it didn't look like a toy.

I didn't test the 3m theory by taking it scube but I did use it extensively on the beach and snorkling. It took some great pics and I had a lot of fun just bringing it in the water and watching people get paranoid for me. One great moment was when we got caught in a torrential rainstorm and I was happily taking pictures while everyone else was trying very hard to protect their cameras.

Couple of notes:
Get a foam floating strap. Keeps the camera relatively close to the surface so it won't sink to the bottom... Read more
