I have had this camera for about a month, and have used it for one vacation and many family outings in that time. The photos I get from the camera are pretty good, you can print them or view at a good size on screen and they stand to those challenges. My best underwater shots are from bright times during the day of close subjects in macro mode. That is true both of my still shots and videos.
While on vacation, I took the camera snorkeling a few times. Because of my excitement over snorkeling, I used the camera pretty heavily, taking snapshots or videos frequently while in the water. I found that a half hour of such heavy use would use up two regular AA batteries. I like that the camera uses AA and not a proprietary battery. But I would say poor battery life is my main reluctance to recommending this camera. If you bring it on a trip, by an 8 pack of batteries and be ready to use it.
I also looked at other, more expensive digital underwater cameras, and for me this was the right value. I wanted a camera I would take everywhere without thinking twice, and the AGFA fits that bill nicely. It is fun to bring around town and takes good snapshots on vacation.

Going back to AA batteries when you’re used to lithium digital camera batteries is definately a pain and they don’t last anywhere near as long. The photo quality is what is to be expected being a 100$ camera, however it does take wonderful beach pictures. I don’t rate either of these things highly but the camera did exactly what I expected so I give it 4 stars. I was leary about putting it underwater but I did for short spurts and has no fear of it getting splashes of water on it. it’s definately better than always buying a throw away waterproof camera, more convenient with the SD card and can take videos. This camera is ugly and large but I am happy with my purchase and have no regrets.

As stated in another review, the camera fogs up after underwater use. It did clear itself up after a while. The pics I did take underwater were very good. Better to spend the extra $$$ and buy a better camera.

The camera takes excellent pictures but it fogs up and takes awhile to defog. Condensation builds up in the card slot and ruins cards.
