Liquid Image Scuba Series HD Camera

Hi All,

New to the forum and I was wondering if anyone has any experience with the Liquid Image Scuba Series HD camera ? I snorkel and was wondering how well this camera performs.

Thanks!

The concept and quality of the cameras are pretty good. The only issue we have seen is that its very hard for someone to keep their head focused and not moving around throughout the video. Being on snorkel makes it even harder than on scuba. Have you looked at/considered the GoPro Hero2?

I've watched video online made with one, and read over some reviews. What I took from that:

1.) The camera & your eyes don't aim at exactly the same place. There is a wide-angle model, though, which is probably what I would opt for.

2.) A scuba diver's bubbles make a lot of racket in the video segments shot with it.

All that said, I'd like to try one someday. They're surprisingly affordable.

Thanks guys for responding. I think I might pass for now on this. I need to have a prescription mask and I not sure if they can provide that. If I do go ahead, I will post back my experience. A good point about needed the wide angle lens.
