Don't buy if you like to go outside
by owen.nelson on December 6, 2011
Pros: Excellent image quality. Video is crisp. Lots of features.
Cons: Weak design. Breaks easily. Lens protector traps dirt and dust constantly.
Summary: Keep searching. This camera will not withstand an attack from a wild boar, riot police, or even a hike up a mountain.
