Hey Bonica- I've put together a short mpeg (compressed) video of the days events for the 2009 Bonne Terre Mine Scuba Treasure Hunt and posted it at YouTube. Here is the link: YouTube - 2009 Bonne Terre Mine Scuba Treasure Hunt plain medium edit mpeg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_wfuD3SMx8) -Marc aka the ScubaMonk

Hi Marc, thank you very much! :)

Wife and I want a good video camera and have been looking for sometime. We think the Bonica Snapper HDDV appears to be a good camera for underwater video. Do you have any customer reviews that I can read and see their videos if possible. Thanks Ken

Hey Ken:

I myself am a Bonica Camera user. I have owned 4 underwater video systems in the past 12 years. The Bonica system is my favorite by far because:
- It shoots video in HD
- It takes still photos in HQ
- It stores everyting on SD memory cards (no more worries about camcorder getting dirty heads and eating the tape)
- The camera it's self is small (fits in my pocket, I take it EVERYWHERE)
- The system has a small footprint (which makes it easy to travel with in a day and age of $20 checked bag fees)
- And best of all, It's AFFORDABLE (the basic system cost me LESS than some of my former housings alone)

Here are some links to two YouTube videos I made using the Bonica camera (not all my videos are underwater... I capture memories everywhere with ease because of the size of the camera system):
YouTube - Jellystone 2008 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=suFanOY-0KE)
YouTube - 2008 watson Fishing Invitational (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_l8OykGeFbc)
