In a dark room, this camera isn't so great. Outside in nature, this camera does it's job.

The camera lasted 3.5 snorkeling trips then its waterproof function turned to a waterlogged function. I had read the reviews and brought an old camera as a backup on our trip to Cozumel. This camera may be great for motorcycle trips where it may get a little rain on it from time to time, but as for a underwater camera don't wast your time. It took okay pictures outside but inside like many reviews said the images are yellowed and washed out.NOT ANY GOOD FOR SNORKELING IT WILL WATER-LOG AFTER A FEW TRIPS OUT.I have had this camera for two weeks. Before I bought it I read all of the other reviews. It seemed like the biggest complaint was water leaking into the camera. So I played with the battery compartment (where most people said it leaked) and I could create a condition where the case would appear to be locked but not completely. Bottom line I found was to push the cover closed hard, with two thumbs AND LISTEN FOR A LOUD CLICK! Make sure one of your thumbs is not on the release lever when closing the door. Experiment closing the door many times before taking it under water. I was even able to get a tiny click out of closing the battery door and it was not securely latched! Make sure you get a loud click. If you let anyone borrow this camera educate them on this feature. So far I have not had any troubles with this camera and I am enjoying it. Thank you all of the other reviewers that alerted me to the battery door closing issue.I love my new Fujifilm FinePix camera. I have owned several Olympus cameras both 35 mm and digital. I was looking for a new one that had certain features. As I searched for the latest Olypus models a list came up and the Fujifilm Finepix appeard on the list so I checked it out. I liked the features and decided to order the green one. I am very happy with the camera so far. I know there are lots of features I haven't tapped into yet but plan to do some more practice. I just returned from a vacation and used my camera on auto. I was extremely happy with the ease of use and the results of the pictures, especially the movie feature. The easy record button is much better than having to stop to change mode settings on my previous camera. I have not tried the water proof feature (under water) but was near a waterfall spray with no problems or worries of affecting my picture taking. So far so good. Nice size and easy to carry.
