This camera takes great photos. I just can't see nothing through the view finder outside. You have to set your camera up before going to the beach and shoot plenty of photos and delete the bad. For the price it's great as long as you can frame a photo just by pointing the camera. Underwater photos also have mixed results. I took 100 photos last time snorkeling and had 10 I loved 90 not so great that's just the nature of underwater photo's and that's why digital is great.
