Liquid Image 5.0MP Scuba Series Underwater HD Video Mask (Medium)

I just used this for the first time in a Pennsylvania quarry. I turned it on before entering the water, and turned it off after I got out almost an hour later. The video quality is very good, and it picks up audio well. The images are clear, and should be since it's advertised as high definition.

Being this is a first edition, I hope a few changes are made in the next version. First, when seating the mask skirt under a hood, it is very easy to hit the button to change it from video to still image (or reverse), and it can be accidentally shut off. There is a blue or red light (depending whether you are shooting video or still images) that is difficult to see while wearing the mask. It is visible, just not clearly. It would be nice if there was a clear display a little lower. Also, each time I exhaled, the bubbles caused the mask and camera to shake, which is clearly visible in the video. As for the scope of view, the camera seems to be shooting higher than most divers are really looking. When checking my computer, all you see is the top of my console or computer. It would be nice if the camera was even a little adjustable, so it can be tilted up or down depending on what the user is doing.

Overall, I'd say this is a hit! Even if there are a few negatives, I was really happy with this mask. I took it to 75' (not deep) for 49 minutes in 45 degree water, and it recorded the entire dive. I can't wait to use it off the Jersey shore for some wreck diving. Now if you can make one to go a little deeper!

Good, sturdy camera. Was able to shoot decent video clips. I using it with attached light.

However, still images are very bad quality average exposure time is 1/2 1/4 secs, so images are blurry.

I wish manufacturer would set limit for still picture exposure time to 1/8 or 1/16 secs. As is, still mode almost useless and could be used only in very bright settings.

Worked just as promised. Pretty easy to use, try it first on land so you get used to the buttons. The shutter button has a rubber plug to prevent it from being pressed you have to remove this plug in order to use.

It also has a microphone somewhere. I added an 8 gig memory card and it barely was filled after 2 hours of recording.

The only note is a comment someone else had left: It's recording in high def, so every head movement is incredible rapid. Makre sure you move your head VERY slowly when filming with video, or else you'll get a headache when watching the playback.

IT also records quite well above water it reminds me of a 16mm old time camera, they way it looks.

This mask was easy to operate and performed perfectly. Not only were the pictures and video extremely sharp, but in the video mode it records audio as well. I did purchase an 8 gig memory card (it comes with a 2 gig card) to increase video time but found the purchase well worth the extra money.

The camera leaked on my 10th dive. It was a shallow dive, and I don't understand what happened. I had bought the unit just a few months earlier, but the warranty is ONLY 90 days!

Before that dive, the camera worked fine. The pictures were often blurry and lacked in color. However, since it was a digital camera, you just keep taking pictures, and enough will be useful. I liked how the mask fit, and the camera "shoot' feature was well designed. Overall, I was pleased with the mask and camera prior to it leaking.

I called the manufacturer and they offered no support....no trade-in...no repair....no discount on replacement....Wow...Horrible Customer Service.

I will never buy another Liquid Image Product!
