Great!!
I've been using this camera for under water swim training. Films nicely and transfers easy to my computer!!

Great for what it does, Know what to expect before buying
For less than the price of what most manufacturers charge for just a waterproof housing, you are getting a fully waterproof camcorder. Its image quality is comparable to other similarly priced camcorders on the market, but the "HD" thing REALLY sets people up for disappointment with this camcorder. Its image sensor is only 1/6"... which is pretty small (still a lot of other non-water proof camcorders have this same size sensor in this price range)... Focusing is a little slow...
This camcorder has a lot of draw backs but its made for outdoor use in extreme conditions that would kill an normal camcorder!
I wrote a review about what to expect out of this camera to help people make up their minds about the purchase. I bought it as a second camera to use instead of getting a waterproof housing for my canon. Read more here:
