Got one of them. It's OK but certainly not the best. I found that with it's own flash there's a BIG FAT chance of getting backscatter. This past summer I used it a lot and learned a lot too. It is some thing that you have to get used to as you go. I suggest write on the back of your pictures the different conditions so you can try different things later. I added a strobe to my unit. I didn't spend too much money. I found a used one at the club for ฤ and I fit an arm and a platform and attached every thing to the reef master. It's great now.
By the way if someone offers you to buy one make sure the price is right. They went down a lot in price since the digital systems are more on demand.
Be cautious if you are snapping pics at an object that's around 10ft away, you might get a solid blue picture. Get closer and illuminate as much as you can. Use a flashlight on the subject if you have to. Some units came with a filter and a close up lens too. I found that some times using the sports finder I wasn't centering the subject in the middle of the picture. But over all I think I had more than half, which were acceptable.
Good luck
