Dive in with Canon

Date of Review:  Dec 7, 2000
Review: Like taking pictures? Like underwater, diving? Like taking pictures underwater? Then try this Canon A-1, a high-quality underwater camera with fixed shooting range, excellent auto-focus, easy-to use and understand features, automatic functions.

A-1 Panorama Date - Water Resistant and Compact Too!

Date of Review:  Apr 3, 2000
Review: As a person who loves water, water sports and the beach; I needed an inexpensive but durable water resistant camera to catch those once-in-a-life time photos of my 40 pound rainbow trout (my fish tale); taking photos while inside a tube while...

Leaky body

Date of Review:  Apr 28, 2002
The Bottom Line: Not recommended because the key feature of this camera i.e. being waterproof is not 100% reliable. There are better performing and better looking cameras for this price.
Review: I bought this camera back in Dec 1999. I had fun with it in mixed conditions (i.e on dry land as well as underwater in a swimming pool).

As the other cameras owned by me are the Nikon FM2 (fully manual), Nikon FE2 (aperture priority),...

Basic but perfect

Date of Review:  Apr 27, 2000
Review: An underwater camera is something I had always wanted, I spend lots of time sailing and rowing and like to take pictures. Canon make good cameras and this camera seemed the best underwater choice in my price range (Nikonos one day maybe). I bought...

"Where's that fish going to be in 10 seconds?" A SCUBA review.

Date of Review:  Mar 17, 2003
The Bottom Line: Until a dedicated underwater digital camera arrives, this is a somewhat workable stop-gap for divers.
Review: I bought this camera as an alternative (antidote) to hauling around Nikonos or underwater-housed digital camera big-rigs. Therefore, this review covers the use of this camera only as used for SCUBA, i.e. underwater, not on land.

As anyone...

Bad Design & Warranty

Date of Review:  Dec 23, 2000
Review: Hello,

Please don't buy the Canon Sure Shot A-1 Panorama Date underwater camera. Allow me to explain.

I bought a Sure Shot Panorama Date underwater camera as a birthday gift for my 14 year old daughter. I loaded it with film and...

Review: I live in the Caribbean and I had many other cameras before and they were all ruined by constant sand getting into the edges and zoom lenses.It takes excellent picture underwater and can take a banging. I carried it on my Virgin Islands vacation and...

Date of Review:  Aug 14, 2002
Review: I love this camera so much I've bought two now. Both times they've leaked in 6-8 feet of water and specs say the camera is good to around 15 feet. I'm very disappointed and Canon won't stand behind it now that it's out of warranty. Great splashproof...

Date of Review:  Aug 31, 2002
Review: Used many years in salt water. Greatest aggrivation is the switch. Works fine in use, but too easy to accidently turn on when stowing camera in a bag or case. Rugged and gives good pictures. Eventually the auto rewind quit.
