There, now that should satisfy anyone's need to have product specs.

My own personal experience with this camcorder has been unreal. I like SCUBA Diving, and I have found a case that will fit this camera from my local dive shop. If you can just imagine how much extra color and detail you can get by putting a digital camcorder in an underwater housing compared to an analog camera, then I don't even need to go into more detail there, do I?

It has held up very well for a digital camera. When I first started using it I was very nervous about breaking it, because I had never owned a digital camcorder before, but I have beaten this camera like a red-headed step child and it hasn't broken yet, so I guess that is a good thing.

If you are looking for a very durable camera that will take unbelievable video above and below the water line, then I would say you should buy this camera.
