Can this camera be used in salt water/the ocean also?

Yes - I used it for snorkeling in the ocean and then used it again the next day at the beach and it worked fine. The manual says to rinse it off after use in salt water.

sure it can. Give it a fresh water rinse after and you should have no troubles.

It does go under water just fine. We didn't buy the camera for the quality, but rather for taking on trips where we wouldn't want a quality waterproof camera stolen. Like a cruise. It takes pictures well enough that we can capture the moment. At the same time, it can get dropped in the water or take pictures while snorkeling, whatever we need. AND...we don't have to worry about it being very expensive.

Not sure about using this underwater, you should call samsung and ask if they have waterproof casing and ask up to what depth the camera will function. This camera will function up to 20-30F in cold weather, my other canon wont work in these cold temps.

The camera is water proof. I have used one for my work in harsh environments for some time now, and it is an excellent camera. Due to this, I bought one for my son.

I don't think you'd have any issues with using this on salt water in regards to if the material could handle salt. However, I would NEVER take it out into the ocean or any place with excessive waves, swells, drifts or any turbulence. It has nearly no steering, especially without the skeg. We use it on some rough lake water occasionally but its a workout to get it moving. I would not recommend taking it out into the ocean unless you want to get lost at sea.

i really don't know. i used the camera to "film" whales and turned it off when the animals decided to submerge. i suspect that you could run the camera until the batteries ran out.

Nope, never used it underwater to take pictures. However, I have had it in very bad wet raining weather and it has held up fine. Your question could probably be answered best my the manufacturer. So far, for what I do with it, hunting in wet climates, works great for the price.EH

No. I used it for indoor pictures and the quality was poor, so I only use it underwater.

I see no reason why this unit could not be used in salt water. I am not for sure if maps for some salt water area's is loaded but I know you can get a card and load them into unit. It does come with transducer and the GPS reads your speed, it is very accurate.

I really don't know. But we used this camera on an extended vacation and brought home some of the best underwater pictures that we have ever taken. For a point n shoot camera, it crisp, properly adjusted pics. Very easy to set up and use.

According to Garmin manual it can be used in salt water, but the depth range drops to 600ft range. The range is salinity dependent. Hope this helps.
