Summary
This camera gets great photos in the 5 inch to 4 foot range and good photos in the 4 to 10 foot range. The macro photos of small underwater objects are very clear and detailed. I have used it on 4 or 5, 7 day dive trips to Bonaire NA and have been very pleased with the outcomes. We usually shoot 24-72 shots per day. It is simple and a great, inexpensive beginning underwater photography camera. My teenage son used it last trip and it was only his second trip taking phots. He too, got some great shots.
Strengths
Easy to use. Not very expensive as underwater equipment goes. No external strobe is required to get good Close up or macro photos.
Weaknesses
The GOALI system makes changing film between dives somewhat cumbersome. You have to bring the vacuum pump with you in a dry bag in order to change the film.

Customer Service
I had touble with it flooding even with the Goali system properly indicating it was waterfroof. I called Leisure pro and they authorized its return. After 1 or 2 E-mail exchanges, They replaced it free of charge. It had been used on a JUly trip and Flooded in October. I have had no other need for service.
