Advantages: A great camera for extreme sports, good picture quality and easy to use

Disadvantages: Heavier and bulkier than most small cameras on the market

I bought this camera for my white water rafting trip in the Grand Canyon and was not disappointed. It proved to be waterproof through 12 days of rapids, was dropped into a pool of water and also banged against many rocks as I hiked into the side canyons. I've also used it in the sea when snorkelling and for general sight seeing pictures in the city etc.

The picture quality is good, and its easy to use. The battery life is excellent and the camera charges in about 2 hours.

The only downside of this camera is that it's bulkier and heavier than many of the digital cameras on the market. This doesn't matter for when you are out hiking, rock climbing etc, but its probably a bit big to put in your pocket on a night out.

That said it does what it says on the tin - its definitely tough and well worth the money for people who need a camera that can go anywhere.

Summary: It's definitely tough - does what it says on the tin!
