Intova Sport Pro

[krawlings]

Thanks JamesK and everyone who contributed to this thread. I'm in the market for an entry level UW camera, I really appreciate all the information I found here. I think I'm *almost* sold on Intova Sport HD too.

I just have few questions before I press the Checkout button.

Does it come with a wall plug to charge the camera or only USB?
How long does it take to fully charged the camera?
What is the minimum focal length? I think I may have read it somewhere that it is from 5' to infinity. 5' is very far.

I almost order a Sealife mini, but thankfully found a thread that have a link to this thread, for $30 different (Sealife with $30 rebate), I think this one seems like a winner.

Thanks in advance!

The data cable w/ USB is what is used to charge and download pic and videos
I have not payed attention to how long it takes to charge . I have not fully discharged it . I just plug it in to download pic and then leave it for a couple hours and unplug
focul length is around 2' the videos I posted you can see we got as close to things as inches (big tire) most other close spot as 2' of so . I do not thik this one works so will for Micro photo.

No wall plug, only USB.

Haven't learned the answers to your other questions yet.

Mine is arriving tomorrow from B&H! I made my purchase based on the discussions on this thread and the price of it. I am on the look out for a light system for the monetarily challenged to go along with it. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Please check out my video in post #113. I went as close to the Plateform #2 sign just to checkout what you are asking. I must have been about 2-5 inches away from it. Also most of the video was pretty close. The video was about testing the camera in the more or less worse conditions wit darkness and plenty of silt. I hope that this helps.

You are very welcome and thanks also goes to JamesK for assisting me in meking the right decision. OBTW Lesure Pro has these cameras for $199.00. Better than what I paid. Another thing about the video of the plateform 2 sign. I was heading toward it and never changed settings. We are still working on getting the entire object within the frame. That's something I love about the LCD back...you can see what you are shooting. I have not tried to shoot stills and try to view them underwater yet. If you can then it would be a real considering that you could view and delete and shoot again for that once in a lifetime encounter. Oh well, I guess that is why I went with the 32 GB card (Walmart was much cheaper than most places I have seen).
