4.0 out of 5 stars Intova Compact Waterproof Digital Camera, April 4, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Intova CP9 Compact Waterproof Digital Camera (Electronics)
Customer Video Review Length:: 0:18 Mins

The Intova Compact Waterproof Digital Camera, in my opinion, is a great value, the best underwater camera for $105. I used it on 2 dives (so far as low as 40ft) and took a lot of video (included video of schools of fish) on the 1st dive. Also used for snorkeling and used stills and video as well. One of those dives was an underwater cavern, in addition, the strobe I used with the camera worked pretty well. Obviously, I had a chance to compare to a professional grade camera, and the difference in quality of pics and video is substantial, but, those cameras are at least $1,200 or more. I think, for my purpose, and the average user, this is a fine camera. One word of advice, use Lithium batteries. Alkaline batteries would run out after about 50 pics worth of testing. The lithium batteries never ran out, and that was after 2 dives (with stills & video), snorkeling with turtles (stills and video), and many land stills and video.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great underwater camera!, September 7, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Intova CP9 Compact Waterproof Digital Camera (Electronics)
Bought this to take to Hawaii on vacation. We did four scuba dives, deepest was 80', and this camera held up great. It's not the best camera ever picture-wise (best pics come when you and your subject are fairly still) but I'm very satisfied with it. The housing was sturdy and we never had a problem with leakage. It goes through AAA batteries kind of fast though, so take extras. Each set of batteries made it through 1 1/2 dives, so next time I'll be changing batteries after each dive. Highly recommended though if you want to chronicle your diving but don't need professional-grade pics!

4.0 out of 5 stars Only one minor drawback, otherwise wonderful, October 1, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Intova CP9 Compact Waterproof Digital Camera (Electronics)
I gave this camera brief test on the beach of Fort Lauderdale. I had only one issue with it....the LCD Screen is nearly impossible to see in full sunlight. I started out with it on its dimmer setting hoping to preserve the batteries, but quickly discovered I couldn't see anything on the screen. On my next re-entry to the water, I changed it to its brightest setting. Then, I could tell that it was on, and what mode it was in, but still couldn't see the thing I wanted to photograph.
Despite that minor drawback, it takes beautiful pix and movies, never leaked, and never lost battery power.
I think many people's complaints about very short battery life or suddenly losing power may be due to an undocumented power-saver feature I discovered. Several times I thought the camera had shut itself off, but when I pressed the power button to turn it back on, I found *I* was turning it off. What was happening was that the LCD went blank after about a minute of non-use making me... Read more
