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.

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
Awsome camera perfoms perfectly never leave home without it I purchased this camera as a cheaper option to any other camera with a $400 marine housing as I dont intend on diving 40 metres the u60 is perfect for my surfing pics and a bit of reef photography. I bought this 7 months ago for $380 and its the best money I've ever spent taking fishing and surfing and everywhere wet the images are crystal clear and I dont see any differnce in image quality between this and my 5 megapixel camera.
Great....until it died. This camera took 1407 photos before is stopped working. The problem is the viewfinder never shows what the camera is looking at and any photos taken will be black. It is as if the camera has a lens cap on it (this camera has no lens cap). The camera turns on, the screen show the menus, all buttons work and you can take a photo. (you'll see the green light flash on the display as it debates on using the flash and finally the camera will take the photo (including the flash going off)) I called Sony and... more info
