Pros: Very durable, waterproof, & good picture quality.
Cons: no mid roll film change options, limited zoom.
The Bottom Line: This is a true take anywhere camera that will last years and years, just needs a better zoom.

| pirate969's Full Review: Konica Minolta Vectis Weathermatic Dual 35mm Film ... |
This camera is tough, I've taking it surfing(actually w/me in the water on my board), snowboarding, snorkeling, and to the Glamis dunes. This camera has never failed me once in the 4 + years I've had it. Although I do wish there was version of this camera that is capable of taking multiple shots per second for sequence footage. Another thing I like was the ergonomics of this camera, it fits very comfortably in the palm of my hand. The one significant drawback I found was the zoom, it was a little lacking when I was far from my subject. If Minolta ever used this same housing for a 3 mega-pixel or higher digital camera I would buy it in a heartbeat, I wish Canon made a housing for my G1 similiar to the Weathermatics.
