This was filmed with a Sanyo WH1 Waterproof HD consumer camera which is due to release in mid-April 2009. It’s a 720p HD camcorder/2MP digital camera which is waterproof up to 10 feet! It records onto a SDHC card which is inserted into a water sealed compartment beneath the LCD side. This was filmed in a 9 foot pool. MY RATINGS: VIDEO QUALITY (HD): 6.5 It pretty much matches the quality of the Flipcam HD, which isn't bad. However there are better pictures out there. SOUND QUALITY: 7 I would say this sounds slightly better than the Flipcam HD on dry ground. Underwater however, it's underwater... all you hear is "bloop bloop bloop" with an occasional water pop. EASE OF USE: 9 It's super easy to use. Since there aren't many custom features, you'll learn it all in a matter of minutes. FEATURES: 6 The features are very basic, yet understandably so. Manual adjustments underwater can be very difficult considering your environment will change quicker around you than on land. I shot this when the light was already off the pool, so I'm sure it'll look twice as good in tomorrow's shoot when the light is there. With that said, leaving the camera on "auto" didn't bother me a bit. DURABILITY: 8 Even though the camera is a waterproof camera, I feel that some issues may occur with some of the components (mainly the LCD screen and compartments) when people forget to close them properly. Also, if you leave the camera in the heat then take it with you into the colder water, it may effect the water seals. The best advice I could give it so keep the camera out of direct sunlight if you plan on bringing it into water. I rated it an 8 because I think the camera will hold up fine if you're nice to it. BATTERY LIFE: 7 With over 3 hours of battery life, there's not much to worry about. Although I do wonder about the long term life since you can't switch out the battery if it dies out. VALUE: 10!!!! Yes, a 10! If you want to buy another waterproof camera, you...
