I only could find 1 review on it.

"It's slow as molassas in between snapshots. You better have a steady hand too because it is hard to get a still picture. The pics you take are dull and dark in color I'm thinking because it may have some sort of film or something over the lens to protect it since it is water proof anyway your pics look like as if you were looking thru sunglasses. The water proof thing is cool. It not a bad camera but for what I paid I could have done better."

Bell and Howell usually make junk.

Save your USD and get the Canon D-10! Best for the money.

The olympus stylus from walmart has worked great for us. $179. Took it scalloping and was impressed. That canon looks sweet though, for a little more.

We have a two year old Olympus 850 WP and it sucks its batteries in about 50 pictures! Their proprietary batteries are expensive and don't hold a charge very long!

Fujifilm Z33WP. It's been a good camera for me since Christmas. I can't tell you how much it was, Santa/daughter won't tell me.

I bought an Olympus 550 WP and it's great. The battery holds up well and they are not expensive. It's 10 megapixel and can shoot Video also.
