John,I was reading the "non bios" review's and it was rated #1 on the editors choice for PC Mag the down fault's was,it lagged with the 610 led screen clarity and some other minor thing but that was pretty much it for a point and shoot durable camera.
This is the whole reason as to why I posted this thread,I know most of the guy's and gal's here and figured I would get truthful comments VS some Chump who get's massive kick back's to promo someone's product's...
As for the price yeah,it's pretty high.But the thing is I have $400 in Be_t Buy card's free from work,so this won't cost me one red cent
I would still like to make an educated purchase even if it's free.

Thank's FB

Now for the shockproof.....not so much. After a rough snowmobile trip it did not fair so well. The shutter "tweaks out" when taking some photos and forget about videos now
Jen I hear yea! mine took a few rocky trips and it seemed that it took's it toll on it.When I need to select a mode I had to off set the selection in order for it to work in that mode...If that make's any sense

Video mode was completely compromised and was inconsistent with audio and PIC quality.........

I guess this whole mis-hap with my camera was a blessing in disguise.........
