is this camera good for split photographs(1/2 in water 1/2 out water)?

Not sure JH, I haven't tried that yet. I suppose if the water is still enough, not rough waves, that it would work just fine.

I haven't had the opportunity to try it out under water, but it does operate differently. I tried it out at home and the photos are blurry unless you have the lense set at maximum exposure (all the way out). It then takes clear photos. This means to me that you better be ready to use it when it is in that mode before it automatically turns off during your power saving mode.

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.

This is my opinion on your question. This camera is not designed to take pictures less than 18 inches from the subject so I would say it is not suitable for what you want to do. Secondly, doing what you purpose would be a very low-light situation and even if the camera would do closeup exposures there would be issues with the pictures and any movement of the subject would be blurred.

have used it with success but not with a filter don't know if the camera would fit with a filter on... set your camera on underwater...took a ton of pics with it in Hawaii.

It sounds good and I actually haven't tried taking pictures under water yet but it's pretty sealed closed so I'm sure it would be okay but I haven't tried it underwater yet.

I don't know. I have only used it for wildiife photographs for which it is quite good.

Yes -- it takes incredible pictures out of the water -- there are several settings which allow for settings such as toy camera, B&W with splash of color, cross screen, boost color!

The camera isn't waterproof. I think it's if you purchase one of those underwater cases.

Dear Alicia, it takes good pictures out of the water and decent ones in water so long as the water is clear. All in all for the price, I'm satisfied. Hope this helps.

This camera would surely be damaged by submerging in water. Look for something water PROOF if you're going to be using it on the water. A waterproof bag will be fine if you're just transporting it on the water.

You can take pictures underwater. I have taken quite a few it has worked well for me on those occasions

I only used the camera for snorkling, 3 to 4 feet. It did very well at that depth. The specs say it is only good to 10 feet.

I don't see why not as long as the camera has two connection sites. Would not work with disposable camera as there is no snap in connection just a rubber band loop. Item is made from webbing and plastic so no problem with the water. Never tried it that way but food for thought in the future.

I think the pic quality is good. The pre setting modes work great. Bought this camera to use in Hawaii and took a lot of pics outside of water and they came out nice. We took a high end dlsr cam but used this one about 80% of the time. FYI the underwater pics were pretty good. Just try not to zoom in on things underwater andale sure you have it on the underwater mode. Hope this helps

YES. The camera is fully submersible and functional underwater. There is even an underwater mode to eliminate the blue "tint" from underwater pictures and bring out the vibrant colors of whatever you are shooting underwater.

No it´s not. And it is not good taking pictures underwater. My camera was humid inside it after introducing into the beach. It was a mess.
