Sea & Sea MX-10 35mm Auto Focus Underwater Camera Kit with YS-40A Strobe

I bought one of these about 1 year ago. I shot one roll of film to make sure it worked okay (which it did). However; this year when I wanted to use it for a trip to Mexico, the motor kept wanting to rewind the film even though I put fresh film in and had threaded the leader properly. When the motor finally stopped this nonsense, I took what I thought were pictures, as it sounded like the film was advancing and everything was working fine. When I got home and had the film developed, nothing had come out...two rolls down the drain. I sent the camera to Sea and Sea in California, and they told me that due to the economy, there was no one in the area that worked on these cameras anymore!! What a waste of money. So now I'm sitting with a camera that looks brand new and doesn't work. Even if you get one that works, think ahead to who will service it further down the line, if it need it!

I would like to add that though Adorama Camera (from whom I bought it) couldn't believe it either that a manufacturer stopped fixing a product they make, there was nothing they could do anyway, since it was out of warranty BY ONE LOUSY MONTH. Yet Adorama still sells this Sea & Sea product. No more dealing with this merchant for me, and no more Sea & Sea products...svae yourself some grief and buy a different product from a different manufacturer, and deal with a different retailer...I just paid $150+ for a camera that only shot one roll of film! Since the economy is bad, shop around and look for people that you treat you decently!!

We have been thrilled with the pictures taken with this camera. However, in all honesty, my husband's skill is just as key to the quality pics as the camera. Great for up close -- don't try to take pics of any distance.
