 Great value May 1, 2010
Obstinate (Virginia)
Not as flexible from a program standpoint as I would like and some of the menu options get tedious...but hands down the least expensive, effective, entry-level camera I was able to find. The only real drawback is that if positively eats batteries...plan accordingly.
you can get some very nice underwater photos with this camera January 19, 2010

I bought this camera for my wife who is a scuba diver. I only snorkel and I take underwater photos with a Nikon digital SLR and a Opteka underwater camera housing. We just took a Caribbean cruise where we tested the Intova by comparing its pictures with my Nikon during two snorkel trips. My wife likes the new Intova over her old ones. It is easier to remove the camera and there is a vibration reduction setting which is clearly desirable when you are floating in water. The higher ISO also means the photos are less grainy under less than optimal lighting. Overall the quality of her picture was a notch below my Nikon but still quite impressive. Her success rate (ie getting a nice photo) is higher than my Nikon since I cannot easily aim and shoot through my view finder. I compensate for this shortcoming by shooting several times more photos than her and then select the good ones. She did not have a chance to test the video quality. She will try that after she is more experienced in using the video mode.
Great underwater camera for that price September 15, 2009

Its very good in taking video shoots underwater, BUT There is a lack of time between your finger click And the camera shutter in the still camera mode.
But overall its a great camera if you consider the price. 250$ for the camera and the housing. you barely will get the housing only for some other (sealife, olympus, ... etc) camera with this price.
highly recommended if mainly used as an underwater video camera.
Good Budget Underwater Snapper September 1, 2009

I bought this camera a few weeks ago, and I'll have to admit, I didn't expect much. Boy was I surprised!
Pros:
-Great Pictures for the cost, and very compact. I actually "lost" it a couple times down on the first couple dives with it because it was so small compared to my old Olympus camera. I found myself tracking it with the lanyard.
-The camera has a small amount of buoyancy, but not enough to throw your control off (it's nice to know that if it comes loose, it'll bob around at the surface until I find it)
-The pictures it took on good visibility dives were outstanding and after a little photoshoping, I got some real WOW reactions from other divers.
-The camera has lots of options and bells and whistles. There are also a few accessories available for this that make a more complete package.
-1 set of standard AA Batteries lasted 3 dives, and over 170 photos for me, and that was with the LCD at default brightness and lots of button pressing. I even had plenty of juice left to review photos on the way home. I put a set of Lithium batteries in it and after over 100 shots, it still shows full batteries.
Cons: It's not a $1K DSLR with a $2K underwater housing :) Actually, I would have been happier if I didn't have to buy the flash diffuser and/or red filter seperately. These two omissions lose the camera a star in my review.
Other Thoughts: The LCD isn't the best out there, so don't delete photos because they look bad on it, wait until you get a look on a better screen. I'd rather have the good battery life over a power hungry screen anyway.
I would definitely recommend this camera for anyone wanting an underwater camera on a budget. The picture quality was surprisingly good and there are lots of options to tweak. I can't wait to try this thing with the Wide Angle Lens and a strobe!
 Poor Camera August 29, 2009

The price is great, but the camera is poor. The major drawbacks of the camera are:
1. That it does not allow you to automatically download pictures without removing the SD card. There is a USB port on the camera, but this is for using it as a webcam.
2. The camera does not have the facility to charge batteries. This is an expected feature on digital cameras today.
3. The camera uses the 2 AA batteries extremely quickly - you get about 15 pictures out of the camera before you need to replace the batteries. This is a major issue if you are using the camera as a dive camera.
Bottom line - I cannot recommend the camera and would rate it as poor.
