Does this camera take stills?
Miranda Warne, Suffolk - 27th October 2011

Just bought this camera and really impressed, there's something odd about taking something valuable underwater but once you get past that then you really benefit from amazing footage for the price, it has an underwater mode that makes things clearer when underwater, it's also extremely robust I must have dropped it 3 time already and no problem or sign of damage. If you want full HD at a good price point and need to go underwater there is only one choice in my mind after a lot of research Kodak have a gem. Great info again Firebox.
