does this camera take videos under and above water

Yes it does, it is waterproof up to 33 feet underwater, just make sure if you use it underwater to dry it off completely before opening the part where the battery is so it doesnt mess up the hardware inside!

I purchased a GoPro for videos. I've only used this camera with the underwater housing & it has taken some amazing photos during my night dives. I have tried to take pictures of some moon rises and they have not come out well since I do not know how to set up the camera for those types of shots. Overall I love the camera but still learning how to use the settings to maximize my shots.

Mine did not--but the funny thing was that the card they advertised next to it was incorrect!...which, of course I ordered...but this little camera takes a micro SD card! Its a great little under water video' for sure! Carol

It shots movies quite well.You would need to purchase Sony's waterproof case to use this camera underwater.Of course there is a warranty.

yes you can use the camera under water. there is a gel filled screen protector that allows you to use your touch screen and your volume buttons can still be used to snap pics as well. i dint dive with it but did climb a waterfall and hang out on a beach during a tropical storm. it took nice pics and vids and kept my iphone dry. i'd contact drisuit to see what depth its rated for if your gonna dive with it. http://www.mydrisuit.com/

We love this camera, but we haven't taken it underwater (it has been splashed and drenched however), or tested whether it would float or not. My best estimate is that it would not float, we have always used the wrist strap when in an area where we could have dropped it into deep water. Sorry I can't answer this definitely.

I used it under water but the water wasn't very clear so I wouldn't blame the camera. The playback was high def but the sounds under water are fairly garbled as you may expect so you need to mute the playback or add music. For the price in the cam market it is great.

I have used it for over a month. Amazing video quality and great underwater shots - very clear and vivid colors! But I dont recommend this cam if you are intending to use it on a regular basis - landscape shots, portraits and other "upwater" shooting. http://www.nikonusa.com/en/Nikon-Products/Product/Compact-Digital-Cameras/26461/COOLPIX-S32.html

I have used the camera in it's underwater case. The video is fine as long as you don't go so deep that it gets dark. The video playback is excellent. I have two of these cameras and am very pleased.

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.

I did not use it under the water yet. It felt into the water few times when I climbed on the water falls in Jamaica and went to paddle board. This is not a touch screen camera.

It is waterproof, but you can only take videos as the touch screens are not responsive under water.

Yes!! Make sure to the high speed class 10 card and the video will be seemless. I was blown away the quality in both underwater and above water shots. And while others have complained about digital drop out, I had no problems using the faster SDHC micro card.

I had to have the camera ready to go before putting it under the water. The quality of video and pics is 100% as good as without the case. I even took pics at 8ft under the water and video at 4ft under and both were full HD. I was the guinea pig for several friends who want to get these cases. The pressure of the water did turn off the camera/video occasionally when I tried to submerge it but I guess its not really made for that, I was just testing to see how it did. It stayed 100% dry the whole time

Hi. Unfortunately I have not use the camera in water. I use the camera to tape my taekoando classes. Soory. But I believe that the manual tells you how deep it can go. Hope this help.

??? Are you planning to do underwater videos? If you mean does it handle rain.....Yes it does. But don't take it in the shower anyways :-)
