Overview
Practically four cameras in one, the Xacti E2 allows you to shoot both photos and video at a park, birthday party, or virtually anywhere else on dry land. And, when the opportunity presents itself, also shoot both photos and video while snorkeling or while just playing around in a swimming pool. This powerful little camcorder easily records both full 640x480 resolution video at 60 frames-per-second and high-resolution 8-megapixel digital still images, all of which are handily stored to a standard SD or SDHC flash memory card (sold separately).
Designed to IPX8 international standard for waterproof, the Xacti E2 is capable of recording full-motion video five feet underwater for up to 30 minutes. Incorporating a watertight design that can resist the pressure created when submersed at five feet, the Xacti E2 can capture dramatic photos and video footage underwater to share with the less adventurous family members and friends. The E2 incorporates highly advanced AVC/H.264 video compression, which makes posting movies on the Internet or e-mailing them to friends and family easier by reducing the file size. In fact, the file size can be up to 25 percent smaller than that of typical MPEG-4 cameras. A large, 2.5-inch Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) flips out from the camera and rotates up to 285 degrees on an axis that allows you to take great video or still images from otherwise-difficult-to-view positions, proving to be especially useful when shooting underwater or in small rooms.
And you can import the Xacti E2’s MPEG-4 files directly into iTunes and then easily transfer them to your iPod.

so I bought this camera because of clever marketing and I am glad I did. It's fun, a bit bulky, easy to use. It takes great pictur…Read morees but the camera can take a bit to get started. My only criticism would be that when I was snowboarding it got foggy under the lens so a picture came out blurred. It resolved rather quickly so no worries.

The Best thing ever
Written by DP from Jamesburg

Well..... I just ordered this product and I love it. What happend was we have a camera but its not waterproof and we were going on…Read more a cruise in like a week and we didnt want our other one to get ruined. so we bought this one. At first we thought that it could only shoot in water but it works perfectly out of water too. This made the most out of our vacation. When we went snorkeling and swimming, plus its easy to upload to youtube and facebook! I would highly recamend it

Great Product

I'm not a professional but I love this camcorder. I love the small size and the picture quality. I had one frustrating problem ori…Read moreginally, that I thought I would mention, in case it saves somebody confusion. I initially thought the unit was broken because it wasn't recording still pictures onto the memory card. The problem turned out to be the fact that I wasn't pushing the photo button hard enough. It appeared to focus and take a picture but would not store it. I finally figured out I just needed to press the button harder. The pictures are great as well as the videos, all in a small waterproof package. Very nice.

So my sons and I go swimming, and I can catch it on film. Tomorrow I go snorkeling and will catch it on film. It downloads easy, it is really easy to use, it is a great toy! I am so glad I bought it. You will get shots you normally will not get.
