As my gopro hero 2 died a heroic death on a dive trip last year it was time for a new diving camera; after surveying the market this one seemed to fit my needs. In short, this camera is amazing for diving. The image stabilization and color correction work very well.None of the attached photos have been retouched; they're just frame grabs from the videos I recorded and can are representative. The full videos are on my youtube channel.If the background is fairly neutral - or it's easy to guess where the primary subject is - the camera can compensate easily. The sand covered stingray was photographed at a depth of 65ft and the color balance is perfect. If you can get up close to the subject, color correction works very well. The other diving photos were taken between 50ft and 75ft in slighly murky water. Autoexposure is responsive, and within a second it'll turn up the sensitivity to show you what's hiding in the shadows under that rock over there.Generally the camera is pretty good at guessing where it should try boost the reds, but sometimes it overcorrects - note the diver's fin seemingly glowing. Additionally, the color correction is image dependent. In video, you can see the color tone change slowly as the camera decides how to balance each frame.Consider the two photos of the spotted eagle ray, both taken at about 70ft. When shooting into the light, the color correction might heavily desaturate the image to compensate for the excess blue. If the lighting isn't so difficult, the color saturation is preserved and color balance is better; note that the underside of the ray is properly corrected to white.Since this is the internet and everyone loves to complain on the internet, here's what didn't thrill me:* battery life could be better. I got about 42 minutes recording 1080/30fps with the screen on. Leaving the screen off saves a lot of power and gives at about 1 hour of recording. I look forward to the day that high capacity batteries are available for this camera.* the buttons on the case were pretty stiff and required a very firm press to actuate. Since I was shooting long videos I didn't need to push the buttons very much and I guess it's better than leaking buttons.* dive mode color correction doesn't work spectacularly well near the surface or with really uneven lighting. Yes, that's documented in the manual, but it can make for some rather strange video near the surface.

I own 3 of the previous models of this camera, a couple are 13 years old now, they all still work great so I decided to try out the newer model. I wasnt disappointed. It has definately been improved. The image quality is excellent. The menu system is much simplier and the battery life is excellent. I really enjoy being able to use the Wifi to stream or download pictures and videos to the app. I didnt think I would use the front display, but it does come in handy quite often. The included wrist remote is charged by usb and works great right out of the box ( no setup/pairing). This is a great price for a very light and small camera that you can easily carry around in your pocket even when its in the waterproof case. I didnt get a chance to take this one scuba diving yet ( as you can see from my pictures, Its a little too cold to get in to the water. 7F degrees above zero when I took the pictures) but if it works underwater as good as it predecessor I cant complain!

This is my second Campark camera and I absolutely love it! I decided to buy another one since I'm going to the Virgin Islands next month and plan on doing tons of snorkeling!! My old one has held up great over the years but it was time for an upgrade and wow I seriously can't believe the quality of this camera, simply amazing clarity!!
