Zx5 Under Water Camera

[micki]

Zx5 Under Water Camera, I've been reading some reviews about this camera and they aren't as good as I hoped.  I know Kattz and the club have this camera, what is your take on the battery charge time? That and the low light seem to be the most negative issues.

Battery charge time is not all that great but seems to be fine in low light. Check the dates on reviews because both Club and Kattz is generation 2. You should be able to find this camera for 99$

Ok, thanks!

Micki, if you're under purely actinic lighting, it will be dark.  If you're under daylight (CFL, MH, LED), it's fine.  As I told my wife, it's a $99 camera for use underwater, and it's going to give you about $200 quality for the price.  I have a 20 minute vid that I'm going to put up on YouTube that Kenn has seen that looks pretty good.

Thanks for the input Kattz!

i know that digital equipment has come a long way, but you're not going to get the quality of a D300 out of it.  Sorry.  If you want to buy one, look at the video I posted up of my clowns; there's a youtube vid on the clownfish thread that was taken underwater with it.
