HTC RE 16.0MP Waterproof Digital Camera (White)

Wish I could purchased 10 more. This Camera is worth every penny!!! Brought it because a go pro is a bit on the expensive side and I wanted something reasonable. Trust me when I tell you this, this camera takes the most beautiful pictures in and out of the water. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it! Thanks HTC, you made my pockets and my heart happy :-)

The following is based on IOS as I do not have an Android any longer to test it out there. Hard to believe this camera can still be found new. I still use and enjoy the two I own; one blue and one white. Note that the colored cams do not suffer the cracked case (at least of all the ones I have seen, and I have seen about 8 colored and 3 white). For some reason the whites are more brittle plastic? Also, the original packaging had the RE displayed nicely in the clear dome case but this may have put a lot of stress on the bottom, as this was how it was mounted and shipped. The one I received had bubble wrap around it to help but I really think it was just the white case material. Note that this latest one I received had no cracks and maybe they changed something on later models. The serial number is a lot higher than my original ones so it is a more recent production model. My white one had cracks so of course it never was exposed to the elements but I though why not replace it now for 60 bucks. I was happy to see this camera arrive in new unopened packaging as I figured this would be a reconditioned unit. Well, maybe if it was, and someone had done the update before HTC shut their servers down for it, I would not have to return it. Thats right, looks like the servers are shut down and without them one cannot do a firmware update on the RE. Let me state this is the only reason I give it a 3 star today. It would have been 4 if not for this. As you might be understanding by now, this doesnt need to be a deal breaker for most people, especially if you never saw the slight changes (dare I call them improvements) that the last and only update they put out for it, gave you. I also have read that on Android it will not connect to the app. I cant confirm it but many negative reviews at the Android Play Store concerning this. At least it still connects fine on IOS and will still use my other cams till till the end!

Looks like I got a defective one, the rubber sealing at the bottom is coming out a bit, so I wouldnt trust it to be submerged once I get the waterproofing kit again. This is the second one ive owned because I lost the last one, but it is a great product.

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.

Takes awhile to get used to taking photos without a viewfinder or screen. Picture quality is quite good, I was particularly impressed with underwater shots.

I am not a happy purchaser of this item the first time we used it in the water as a test...it leaked..and because it was a gift ..and we didnt use it within the 30 day window they dont want to take it back or replace it...

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.

Many problems, battery ran out fast, I sent back, after a month no response, email again then came back with the same unit in addition of two crack lines, the major issue is that the software is very difficult to connect using wifi, without your iphone screen, it is also very difficult to know what kind of pictures you are taking.

At first I was excited to get this portable camera for my motorcycle rides. I had seen other pics and videos posted online by other users. Pics were clear, video was clear, game on. I received it as a Christmas present, and set it up with no problem. I downloaded the app and after several tries was able to connect it to my iphone 6s and see my test pics and videos on my phone. Finally the day came to test it on a motorcycle ride. I took pics and video with it. Later that night I sat down with my phone, opened the app, and it asked me for a password. I didnt originally set it up with a password, so I had none. There is no option to retrieve or reset your so called password either. I went online and looked for a solution. The only option was to reset the camera to factory settings, which I did...repeatedly. It kept taking me to the same password screen and running me in circles. I did an online chat with HTC support. After 75 mins of my time back and forth I was told the camera was not compatible with my phone. WTH!? It had just worked two weeks prior with no problems. I had even uninstalled and reinstalled the app to be sure. Oh sure, I can pull the SD card out and get the pics and videos off of the card, but my hope was to be able to share these videos from my phone online with friends. I even tried emailing a video to myself to open and save on my phone, but it said the file was over the limit. Bottom line, Im mad and very unsatisfied with this product and the companys inability to solve the issue. Thanks for wasting my time and my money HTC

If there was a negative review rating it would be a -5. The manual does not cover any of the required information in the least. There is no information on how to change the date and time setting. The battery is the weakest I have ever seen. It last about 2 30 second recordings if not wired directly to a computer. The record button is next to impossible to tell when it is recording or not. I had thought about using this as a dashcam but I see it would not be of any use as that. My recommendation, dont waste your money.
