Great camera at a great price
This is a great little camera. It's controls are very basic and easy to use and yes, it's actually waterproof for this price! I have just returned from a holiday and used it in the pool, in the sea and for general snaps - I was very impressed with the results. There is a little shutter lag and a small zoom capacity, but the screen is a good size and the resulting pictures are fab. If you are looking for a basic point and shoot, with no gizmo's this is for you, with the added bonus that you c...

Kodak C123
I looked at many many reviews for a waterproof cameras, and the 2 more reliable ones - for not leaking were the Kodak C123 and Sony at £300.I decided to buy the cheaper option to see how I got on with a waterproof camera.The picture quality for normal photos it what you expect for a £50 camera. The quality is fine for everyday photos. I have taken pictures inside and outside and have been pleased with both.The underwater pictures are fantastic! I am really pleased with how easy the came...

SO GOOD!
Back from my holiday and I can say this camera is brilliant ! Underwater pictures are clear, videos are clear and the sound is fantastic - you can hear all the underwater bubbly noises! I came back with over 500 pictures from my holiday and all of them have turned out well.only a few cons - The strap is a bit short. you can't safely tie it around your wrist while in the water, I had to tie a knot onto my fingers incase I dropped it.Also the screen is not so clear in the bright light, a...

Awesome Underwater Camera For The Money
I purchased two of these cameras to take on holiday purely for underwater use. Constantly turned on with freshly charged duracells the cameras still showed full battery power after after a 3 hour swim in the sea. Under normal use the batteries should last days. My wife and I used the cameras 2 hours everyday for two weeks. We have taken hundreds of photos and are really pleased with the results. Once we finished swimming we rinsed the cameras off with fresh water. Other guests and staff were ama...

Cheap but good.
This camera is cheap even for a 12mp but being waterproof means it is at least £60-£80 below it's rivals. Having tested this camera a few parties throughout the week, it doesn't seem to be able to keep up with simulary priced cameras. Underwater this camera is brilliant and I love using it in Swimming pools. As a camera for general usage, it performs very well and can cope with colour and directional change well.As a camera for general use it can deal with what you throw at it, But i...

Failed first time used
Absolutely gutted this Kodak camera leaked and failed the first time it entered the water. I bought this for my wifes birthday to use on our red sea holiday but when my wife and son did there first scuba dive with me snorkling above taking photos the camera instantly died. Just to make matters worse a whale shark past my son which we now have no photos or video of.The camera looks great and is very very easy to use but water quite clearly leaked in through the battery and S/D card door which ...

This isn't waterproof and dreadful customer service.
UK customers might want to check the significant number of negative reviews on amazon.com before purchasing this camera to take on holiday. I bought this to photograph whilst snorkeling and the camera failed after about 10 minutes. Turns out that this camera isn't at all waterproof when used underwater. Disappointing, but not exactly the end of the world. So, I attempt to return the camera, but of course there is no returns address on the warranty details. So i look on the web, there are no...

Great camera and good value
Bought this camera as it was a cheap option for an underwater camera - was comparing this with the Fujifilm Finepix xp10 but chose the Kodak because a number of people seemed to have issues with the Fujifilm actually being waterproof. So far have only tested this at home but it does seem to be watertight, and its slightly "chunky" shape means it feels robust when using - I feel confident it would stand up to some wear and tear unlike many other digital cameras. Looking forward to testing on holi...

Absolutely fantastic camera for the money
I bought the Kodak Easyshare Sport C123 a couple of days before going to the Maldives for a week. I would describe myself as a a keen amateur photographer and usually use high-end Canon equipment. I knew the majority of the holiday would be spent on the beach or snorkelling and I wanted a camera I wouldn't have to worry about.The batteries that the camera came with lasted a day and a half and I then swapped to rechargeable Energizer 2500mAH (2 AAs) which lasted a couple of days on a full...
