VuPoint DC-ST531TBLK-VP - Digital camera - compact - 5.0 Mpix / 12 Mpix (interpolated) - supported memory: MMC, SD

I was pleased with the whole process of this purchase. Billing went smoothly. I received my camera sooner than I was originally told. The item came well packaged. We took this camera to the Caribbean to use on snorkeling adventures. This camera took as good a picture as did a more expensive Olympus camera we also used. I was pleased with this purchase.

I bought this camera for a trip to Cancun. I wanted to do Scuba Diving and I brought this along. This camera package is probably the best underwater camera package for under $100. The pictures came out clear. The camera also has video capability with sound. Great buy!!

I purchased this to replace an older Canon underwater camera (film type). I am very impressed with the quality of the camera. I've taken a few underwater pictures in the swimming pool as well as a few above water...they look great. Will give it a real workout next Spring in the Bahamas. I hightly recommend the new Duracell LiOH AAA rechargable batteries.

i found that most of the photos taken had to be taken 'blindly'; ie, to point and shoot. the lcd was useless under water; the viewfinder would have helped. we got some terrific shots of the kids underwater, on a sunny day, in a pool that was clear, too. i wasn't afraid to take the camera into the pool, even with all the splashing, and was able to get wonderful angles i never would have been able to get with my regular camera.

the downside is, after one month of having received the camera; probably about a dozen uses, water got into the case. as i mentioned before, we just point and shoot and hope for the best. most often, it is too bright to review the photos outdoors. so i did not even realize that water had already seeped into the camera! the lcd was filled! i quickly removed my batteries and memory card, but i don't know the damage they sustained. i'm now afraid to try them elsewhere. the batteries were new, too, and are the rechargeable kind.

so, in my case this camera did not even last a full summer. i did get some great photos. was it worth $85 (w/shipping)? not to me. i'm really bummed. the kids really liked it, too.... now i have to see if it is covered under warranty.

I used this camera on a vacation, didn't do anything too crazy with it, ie, scuba diving, we just used it while playing at the pool, lol. I don't recommend using it as a both land and water camera as it's not the best quality (I have a separate camera for "regular" use), but the picture quality is really great for the price. Another little bonus is the case floats haha. I dropped it from a boat into the ocean but there it was bobbing along until I grabbed it again.
My only issue is that the AA batteries drain really quickly but batteries are easy to find anywhere so not a big deal.
All in all, easy to use and fun camera to have, and a great price!
