I had this camera just 2 years before it sprung a leak. It works but it's point & shoot guessing because of no view. I just used it for snorkeling & not diving. (I don't dive) I was very careful with it. I won't buy another Canon underwater camera

This has been used lightly on 2 vacations in shallow water. Camera was thoroughly rinsed in fresh water and dried after each use, battery stored separately. Camera no longer works for no apparent reason. Would have given zero stars if possible -lots of money thrown away.

I love this camera and have no problems! Took it to Europe and worked amazingly! Take the battery out to safe on charging it. I only had to charge the battery twice while I was there

This is one of the most rugged cameras in our comparison, and it takes good quality underwater pictures.

This camera can dip down to 82 feet under water

It comes with a 12.1-megapixel image sensor; which is below the 16 megapixels most waterproof cameras have

With a smooth, rounded body that looks a bit like a worn sea pebble, and with 150-feet of water resistance, Canon's 12-megapixel PowerShot D30 feels just as home below the waves as it does above them.

150-foot water resistance; Compact design; Secure; but easy-to-open watertight seals

Limited feature set; Mediocre image quality; No micro USB charging

I bought this camera as it kept appearing in top 5 reviews for underwater point and shoot cameras to 25 meters. It worked fine on land. It worked fine for one snorkelling trip but then...the LCD viewfinder packed in. As I'm on holiday I did a quick Internet search for Technical troubleshooting.

Typically I use my iPhone for pictures. But for a trip I wanted a regular pocket size camera that was shatter proof and had good zoom capabilities. This little camera is perfect! Clear pictures that snap instantly. The video works really well too. Super easy to upload pictures from the camera.

We purchased camera to image vehicles for reporting purposes. It is the best camera we have used to date, auto focus works well as we have to image cars in light conditions, would definitely recommend it.

Update to my previous review. We have taken this camera on three more dive trips and it is still going strong. The secret is to white balance while pointing at the sand or other white object at each depth of 10 or 15 feet.

The Canon PowerShot D30 is an update to the more than two-year-old PowerShot D20 and as such you might expect a number of significant changes and improvements. The D30 certainly looks different, but below the surface not a great deal has changed.

Water-proof to 25 metres; 1cm macro close focus; Adjustable wrist strap
