HTC RE 16.0MP Waterproof Digital Camera (White)

Bought this for my mom for Mothers Day. She rides a motorcycle and takes a lot of action shots. Has a great go pro but says its way to complicated while riding etc . She absolutely loves this little camera ! It can connect straight to your phone and will immediately upload to your gallery! I will be buying one for myself as well !!!

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!!

Pros: Easy to carry & use. Would not recommend for sporty days, better for casual tourist days. Cons: you have to stand still to get best picture quality, i wished it had a sport mode where it would get great quality (no blurriness) while moving.

This camera works great! I took it on my trip to Hawaii and all my pictures turned out beautiful. I even got pictures/video of a sea turtle! The resolution isnt like a professional camera but for $50 you really cant beat the functionality.

Still trying to figure it out. If you arent techy, the simple instructions to go to Google play isnt enough. My husband bought this and gave up. I havent had time to study and figure it out.

I am so upset with this product. Although it takes wonderful pictures the base of it has cracked after light summer use.

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.

For the price I think this is a great camera for activities. Although I was nervous after reading the reviews that the cameras plastic casing was poor quality mine camera has held up. I have taken this camera tubing, biking and snorkeling. The pictures have turned out very nice and clear and the videos are good for capturing the moment. The only disappointmentsI have with the camera is the sound and bluetooth connection. Because of how you hold the camera the sound doesnt really come through clearly or if youre moving there is a lot of static. The wifi/bluetooth connection to my iphone didnt work at all for me unless I was on a secure network. When I was on my last trip I had no way of looking at my photos until I could get access to a computer with an SD reader (luckily I had my micro SD card adapter with me). With that said I am not a technology wiz so maybe it was a user area. Unfortunately I thought disconnecting and reconnecting the camera from my phone would help but then forget that you have to enter a code thats given in the original packaging. Still have not reconnected my camera. Once I can figure out this feature though I think I will use the camera a lot more since I can share pictures or stream live.Again, I would definitely recommend this camera as an easy activities camera thats fun to use to capture the moment.

Very easy to use and enjoy while traveling. Would love a wireless connection to download quicker

The quality was surprisingly awesome for this camera, wasnt expecting that. I bought it for a trip to florida for underwater pictures videos because im too broke to by a gopro. dont be deceived by the price and quality of pictures though. the material of the camera sucks. cracks have been developed along the base of the camera which caused it to flood the battery and fry the camera. im glad i bought it through a third party (ARZ HotDeals LLC), because they have a great return policy. the third party seller itself is great, it arrived 3 days before estimated arrival. the camera is trash though, wont be repurchasing, or buying any HTC products again. im gonna save my money for a gopro, and i suggest you do the same.
