It is easy to use. The videos are much better quality then earlier models.
I just love it.
Rating: - Great little camera!
I've only used it a little bit, but so far so good. Easy to use, waterproof, and takes great shots, especially with the macro feature. A great value and I would recommend it to anyone with an active lifestyle that needs a small waterproof camera.
