A couple of days before my son's first birthday party, my wife dropped our sony in the pool. We needed a replacement quick, so no time to really read reviews. I saw this camera and figured you can't go wrong because it was only about 50 bucks more than the non-waterproof cameras with similar spex. Picture quality and fetures are right in line with other cameras in the price range, and the camera has already seen a couple of falls on the floor and had some pool time. I keep reading reviews slamming this thing because it "only" goes 10 feet deep or because the photo quality pales in comparison to SLR cameras.... It costs $400! Most underwater camera housings cost around $200, and that doesn't include the actual camera! SLRs go for a Grand! FOr $400, I can't find a better camera for someone with kids. I wouldn't take professional wedding pix with it, but I wouldn't take my $1500 SLR to the beach. For everyday use, you can't go wrong with this camera at this price point.
"I'm moving to a small studio and for some reason the cable connection is in an awkward place and I need a way to transmit HD quality video and audio no more than 20 feet away. What is the best wireless HDMI transmitter / receiver for this situation? Thanks!"
