Editorial Review:
Sony's first ruggedized and waterproofed camera, the Cyber-shot DSC-U60 digital still camera goes where most cameras cannot. The DSC-U60 has a rubber body, fully weatherproofed with O-ring seals, making it watertight while submerged to depths of 1.5 m (5 ft). Designed for one-handed operation, the buttons are easily thumb-accessible with seven different scene modes including an underwater setting to adjust for the Blue hue of the water. The DSC-U60 adds compatibility with the next-generation Memory Stick PRO media and comes with Ni-MH rechargeable "AAA" batteries and an external charger. The DSC-U60 is truly a "go-anywhere" camera for the active adventurer.

The best little camera ever!!! I have had this little camera for about 6 years. Bought it in Puerto Rico at the Post Exchange on impulse. A friend had one and I liked it and when I saw one I grabbed it. Absolutely the best, simplest, most durable camera ever. I have dropped it off cliffs, out of a moving car, had it in mud and under water (much farther than it says it should go) and it has always functioned flawlessly.

Great Water Resistant Camera from Sony I love this camera. Great for one hand use if necessary. Rugged plastic construction.

4 years experience with DSCU60 I have had the camera since 2004 and it still works. I use it like most people for outdoor activities. I don't do anything special to prevent it from getting wet. However, on my last kayak trip I noticed condensation behind the LCD. Based on what I have read in the other reviews the end may be near. Its a great design, the one handed shape. It tucks into a life vest or a ski pocket. I never put it in a case, its always at hand. It was inexpensive and the pictures can be great. Its best features in... more info
the fun lasts only ONE YEAR I'm an outdoor type of guy and had a great time taking my camera hiking and swimming and everywhere my friends couldn't bring theirs. unfortunately it only lasted about 1 week under a year. and even THEN, under WARRANTY, it would've cost $150 to fix (when i bought it for around $300). It broke as other people have explained it...works perfectly fine and then all of a sudden, without misuse or trauma or water leakage, either black pictures or pictures like a tub of vaseline. Sony's "flat rate" $150... more info
