Good pictures in the sea, good underwater pictures for a compact camera, ideal as a second camera on holiday.

Passed endurance test even when diving to approx. 10m. Although an outdoor camera, it is not too ugly. The control buttons are difficult to operate under water or when snorkelling, but this is also the case with other comparable cameras or even worse (I have experience with a Panasonic). That's why I also bought the underwater housing: it's almost as expensive as the camera itself, but it's really indispensable for diving.
Pro
- Tough, yet not too ugly
- Picture quality not top, but far better than mobile phones
Contra
- No separate charger included
- Image format and size not adjustable

Very good camera; passed endurance tests during 2 weeks at and in the sea.
But: incl. memory card, soft case and better wrist strap, my total investment was around CHF 550.Pro

Contra
- Poor hand strap; I bought a neoprene strap for water use.
Definitely a purchase value when things get tough
Hammer outdoor camera and perfectly suitable not only for athletes but also for families with "destructive" children. Apart from the display, it is indestructible and waterproof.
I was a bit surprised that it is considered shockproof but the display is still easy to scratch.
Battery life is extremely long. Since the charging time is also very long, it is advisable to buy a second battery. That way you are always ready.
The pictures are great. Whether portraits or landscapes, even underwater shots are amazing. In manual mode, you have the usual functions, but they are not always set super fast. A bit difficult when you have to be quick, but then you also have the auto programmes.
Interesting accessories, but a bit expensive.Pro

Good camera, but not as tough as it should be

- Screen already has several scratches after 4 weeks, even if the camera was not used intensively.
- The supplied red strap came loose in the water and the camera sank to the bottom! Luckily we were not in deep water....
- Symbols on the dial are already disappearing, even though not used intensively
