Pretty good little underwater snapshot camera
Pros
Small, accepts AA NiMH, often with waterproof housing, kids can take INTO the beach!
Cons
Long "shutter" delay, long recovery time between shots, controls limited in waterproof housing
Recommended it?
Yes
The Bottom Line:
Good for the price as an underwater snapshot camera.
Even though the DXG-308 is a bit dated, it can be found on special at some stores such as CompUSA for under $75 with the underwater housing. I've had this since just before Christmas 2005 and am surprised at how well some photos come out. There are a fair number of shots that the exposure control COULD help fix, but who takes time to with a fixed focal length digicam.
It is a "snapshot" camera for underwater use, so don't expect what features like the Pentax Optio WP or Olympus Stylus 720SW. But for a second camera, or one you can hand to the kids at the beach - in fact hand to the kids to take into the surf, it is a very usable little digicam. Especially so in bright, outdoor lighting conditions.
Down sides: action shots are NOT this camera's forte, there is both an annoying delay between hitting the "shutter" button and actual exposure. Also sometimes a long delay between shots even with the flash off. If you do time it right, often the subject is a bit distorted if it is moving fast or in low light.
Happy water shots! Cheers de 7tronics
