Sure it's a truism, but when it comes to waterproof camcorders, you really get what you pay for. It looks like Exemode's latest offering in that space cuts corners in the looks department, but what the hell? You can't really argue with a hi-def (720p), 12 megapixel camcorder that sports USB, HDMI, and A/V (NTSC and PAL) output, 32MB on-board memory, SD card support, and a $150 price tag. Did we mention that it's waterproof?
Waterproof... the question is for which depth... Should at least be 10 meters, better 20, else it´s not really useful in my opinion.
@s Lol, now i´ve found the specifications... seems to be 3 meters... ouch
well, should at least be fine enough for some snorkeling and compared to what you pay for a case to make a pocket cam waterproof it´s OK
@s looks like it's 3 meters... You can't even go to the bottom of some pools without blowing it. I guess you get what you pay for.
@s It's for those "special bath time" videos
@s if it's 3 meters, it's more like weather proofed. Which isn't bad either.
Hey, that's not cool man, his son was killed by pirates.
Unfortunately, he dropped the camera when the Jaguar Shark chewed his friend. Don't laugh.
The Kodak playsport Zx3 is only $120 and shoots 1080p underwater up to 3 meters. Sounds like a better deal to me.
32 mb on HD that's like 2 seconds
