F!
Just got my 1200 and stil learning...
So like, why doesnt the USB connection charge the freeeeking battery? Isnt this a no-brainer? So like, do I have to take the battery out each time I use the camera to charge? Isnt a simple USB connection a simpler solution? So like, how much more would it cost an $800 camera to effect a USB rechargde connection? Inquiring minds want to know...
I guess it the same reason they used such a small battery and got rid of the EV compensation on the underwater housing?
Why would you design an underwater camera that will only last two dives (if your lucky)? Sure you buy another battery but changing a battery out on a wet camera goes against all logic!! Personally I think the camera is a old (relative) design and newer technology was not used (to keep the cost down?).
On the other hand it is an affordable camera that does get the job done.
