Product Description
This Intova IC700 Underwater Digital Camera is really a kit that includes a 7.0 mega-pixel digital camera and underwater housing. With this kit you can take photographs as you explore the ocean world both above and below the surface. This easy to use camera is good to depths of up to 180' (54.86 m). Of course it is also ideal for taking worry-free pictures in the rain, at the beach, or on the ski slopes. The camera features a 3" LCD display. This makes composing your photos easy and fun. The camera flash can be used to take underwater photos, but an external strobe is recommended to improve color and reduce the illumination of particles suspended in the water. The Pixtreme Flash Set is the perfect flash to use with this camera. Another alternative is to shoot available light with the color correction filter included in the Pixtreme Lens Kit. The camera housing allows access to all camera functions.

a good underwater camera for its price December 24, 2007

I bought this camera just before a trip to the Galapagos islands where I expect to do some snorkeling. I checked out the camera without its housing and found the IC-700 to be a capable camera but nothing to write home about when compared to my Nikon D80. I took some pictures with the camera inside the housing out of water and found a degradation in the quality of the photos. However, I was pleasantly surprised when I took pictures underwater. The camera was easy to use under water but aiming and checking for focus was tricky especially when the water is choppy. But overall I found the quality of the pictures surprisingly good if the water is clear and there is adequate amount of light. When the visibility is low then the camera has trouble focussing. I got beautiful photos of colorful corals, sea turtles, sea lions etc. It was definitely well worth the investment. I may consider investing in a underwater flash unit to go with it.
Good underwater camera April 6, 2008

This camera is a fairly good camera for the price. It takes good pictures and is easy to use. One drawback is the length of time it takes to take the picture. If the subject moves quickly it will not be captured in the frame.
OK for the price April 10, 2008

I had no trouble with the housing. The double gasket is very secure. The pictures when there is adequate light are pretty good. They are not spectacular, but for the price is it was fun to take snorkeling. The focus/shutter lag are pretty bad and I missed photos because of it and it was this frustration that led me to getting a dSLR in the first place, but it is always hard to go back to a p&s from a dSLR. The external slave flash makes a good addition to improve the lighting.
