HTC RE 16.0MP Waterproof Digital Camera (White)

the camera gets hot after using it for a while, not sure if there is a problem with this unit or that is the case for all unit. Like the password protected feature but once the camera is connected to the phone, the phone can see all the photos stored in the camera even though it is disconnected.

MY FIRST REVIEW :Had this camera for just over 1 year. When it worked it was great. Unfortunately it was unreliable. About 1 month after using it I began to have issues with the audio. It would stop, so I got video without sound. This happened intermittently for a few months. I then returned it to HTC for repair under their warranty. It was replaced and worked fine for a few more months. I also bought the charger base and the additional H20 protection cap. Well it just stopped working and I am 3 weeks out of warranty. This is the second vacation where I have had no images to save. I actually phoned this past weekend while determining that it stopped working while I had the H2O package on in the wave pool. Their rep told me to call back on Monday and thought since it was just 19 days out of warranty that they would allow me an exception. Well that isnt happening. I told them I noticed a few tiny cracks at the base and probably water entered there. The camera was never dropped so unsure how the cracks developed (maybe while screwing in their H2O protection base?) The replacement was out of warranty as they start from the original purchase regardless that I had the replacement for only 4 months. They were not willing to do anything. So two vacations with lost videos/photos, the camera cost plus accessories, and they feel that I was fairly treated? They would not even accept it back for repair at my expense. I even asked who else in upper management I could contact and was told nobody. BEWARE!! As you read others comments you will see that many mention cracks that develop without any dropping of the camera........ maybe something defective? UPDATE: I recently purchased my second RE camera within 14 months. The first one developed 2 small cracks at the bottom of the camera. Suddenly it would not turn on. I noticed these during using it with their extra waterproof accessory cap in a wave pool on vacation. The camera was ruined. HTC refused to help since it was 1 month out of warranty (13 months). They claim that I physically damaged it. The camera has never been dropped. The cracks just developed over time. I researched the camera on Amazon reviews and found others claiming the same thing: cracks developed with no dropping of the camera. I really enjoyed the camera and decided to purchase another. I had already purchased the additional waterproof cap/bottom, a case, and many memory cards, so I thought to give it a try again. On this purchase I bought the extra warranty. Well I just came back from vacation, and while there I noticed a crack in the SAME AREA. The camera works, but after finding the crack I was not about to try it in water. Again, I have NOT dropped the camera. HTC appears not to recognize a problem with their product. 2 cameras and similar cracks that others also have reported?? Its about time that they address this and not assume that users have caused the damage by carelessly dropping the camera. Produce a quality product...... SEE THE PHOTOS OF BOTH CAMERAS BELOW.......................................... BEWARE!!

The housing was cracked on arrival but that didnt effect its performance. Works well for the price. Links to my galaxy note 8 and photos & video once uploaded to phone have good quality. Night photos and videos not soo much. Great in the daylight.

Initially the ergonomics and ease of use were nice. However, dont buy this device if you want to consider this as a durable item: it is not. After 6 months of occasional use, and without dropping the camera, the battery fails to hold a charge and the case has cracked along the barrel near the lanyard end as others have reported. The battery is a show stopper for continued usage and there is not a method to replace the battery. After my career in plastics, the camera body is clearly a design fault.

hello, my name is Paula Merino and I am writing to make a claim, what happens is that I bought a htc re camara day July 16 and today the camera does not turn on or charge the battery, so Im very upset about the object is new and damage. I need an answer and a change of product, I pay about 100 dollars and the product was not hard or 2 weeks. I expect a prompt response.

Didnt know what to expect, but I actually really like it. Takes great pictures and videos if the lighting is good. There do seem to be blury ones on occasion if the objects are moving quickly and the low light is just OK. The microphone is also not the best, but it works. I got this for anytime I want to grab a few pics of my daughters playing or doing activities. If I want professional pictures taken, I will pay someone, but this is great for just quick pics and videos.

Love it! Convenient to use. Be aware that the HTC RE App needs Bluetooth 4.0 to work. Will not install on my iPhone 4 or upload 2.

I took this little camera on a road trip to Utah and took some amazing pictures and videos. All the tourists were asking me how come I was taking selfies with an inhaler, lol. When I synced it to my phone I was able to get some good separation between my location and the RE before losing connectivity. Those 16 megapixels make for some very clear pictures. This camera is super easy to use and very portable. I dont know how rugged it is because Im very careful with it and have not dropped it. It does feel a little fragile so if youre notorious for being rough on your electronics this might not be the right choice. Almost forgot, that ultra-wide angle is no joke.

sent an email to vendor more than 2 weeks ago and no response, so here it goes, the device body just above the bottom cap has cracked out and is wide open to the elements. The white plastic seems to be very thin and there is a seal behind it and i have not dropped the device or anything to cause it to crack, i have included a pic, also i got a new android phone v30 and the camera app will not connect to the camera no matter what i do. So beware for android 7.0 phones it will not connect. It will still connect to my older phones and tablets.

I absolutely LOVE this camera. I researched this camera as an option to take on our honeymoon with us, and decided it was a good fit after reading some reviews. I bought it early to test out and took it to the water park. It was fabulous! Great pictures and fun video easily - the waterproof feature was great. We just went on our honeymoon - a 7-day cruise through New England and Canada and a day in New York City after. There were several times when I told my husband I LOVE this camera. It is so easy to use, and really does keep you in the moment. I would just snap away while still enjoying whatever we were doing. The pictures are great quality, and you get so much rich background in. I had a picture I snapped in Times Square and got it all in there, and someone on my facebook asked if I had a selfie stick. No selfie stick here! Just a small unobtrusive camera. I saw other travelers with big heavy fancy cameras around their necks; I enjoyed the small light Re hanging around my neck or my wrist (I purchased the lanyard) that was not cumbersome at all. Others reviews had the con listed of the camera not being good in low light, and this is definitely true. Pictures come out a little blurry if you dont hold it steady. We were at the top of the Empire State Building and I rested the camera on the metal crossings and got some great pictures of the NYC lights from this little guy! No blur. Other pictures in a restaurant were a mix of good or blurred. Battery life was great! I charged it up each night, and there was only one day that I got the low battery warning towards the end of the day when we were back on the ship already. Using this to take pictures instead of my phone also helped my phone battery life tremendously. If I had been using my phone (which is what I usually do) it probably would have died before noon each day and then, no more pictures! If youd like an affordable, fun, and simple camera this is a must buy! It truly was perfect for us. Ive included a photo taken by the Re at the Bay of Fundy Sea Caves in Saint John, Canada to show picture quality.
