Comments about Coleman Waterproof HD Pocket Video Camera (Yellow):
Bought for artistic 14 year old daughter and she loves it. The only problem is you cannot use it right out of the box becuase you need to buy a mini-memory card.

Comments about Coleman Waterproof HD Pocket Video Camera (Yellow):
The battery life is horrible. Filming for an extended amount of time on HD drains the battery within 20 minutes. Otherwise very good and easy to use. Also, no tripod stand and the bottom has a weird clip that makes it impossible to balance camera standing up (incredibly inconvenient).

Received item for a Father's day present. Used camera not even a hand full of times. The end of August took it with me in my pack for a camping trip. Took it out of my pack to use it and the rubber seal where the buttons are at started coming out couldn't repair it.

Comments about Coleman Waterproof HD Pocket Video Camera (Yellow):
I did not like the fact that this camera does not have a flash. I don't really know why I didn't pay attention to this when I bought it - my bad!. The video quality is good although "too shaky" (it should have a sensor or something - image stabilization - to alleviate this problem). When recording under water, the audio is just terrible! Photo quality may be good at 8 MP, but to get a good pic without getting it "shaky" is extremely difficult [*]. Photo quality is very low compared to other cheap cameras. I mean, I was not really expecting the quality of a SLR, but the results are far away from what I was expecting of the device. In addition, the device has a sticker over 3 dots that are supposed to be the speaker. I guess Coleman did this on purpose since there is no audio output going through this 3 hidden holes at all. To conclude my review, I have to say that the sticker I just mentioned says: "YouTube Direct Upload ... Easily Upload HD Videos to YouTube". Liars! There isn't a single function in the device that "easily uploads the videos to YouTube!

Comments about Coleman Waterproof HD Pocket Video Camera (Yellow):
My main gripe is the lack of a tripod mount. This is an easy to use video camera with pretty basic functionality.
The 1080p video isn't all that sharp or smooth, but for such a small underwater camcorder, it's good. I've seen people say it has a 720p 60fps mode... this is not true... it has a 848x480 60fps mode.
Alkaline AA batteries last a good amount of time when compared to other digital cameras that use AAs.(advantage of low power CMOS sensor)
If your expecting BluRay quality videos, this is not for you.
Otherwise, it's great.

Comments about Coleman Waterproof HD Pocket Video Camera (Yellow):
Amazing quality. I bought this specifically for my cruise in the Caribbean and was pleasantly surprised. I never thought I would be able to take underwater video in 1080p. I also shot some video in 720p in 60fps - the 60fps makes it look unbelievably clear and smooth. The still shots came out nicely too, just wish there was some optical zoom on this and an image stabilization feature. All in all, a great piece.
