Rated 3 out of 5Â by logger Not waterproof
My second one. Took my first into my pool and after it didn't work the same. Some buttons got messed up and i could no longer shut it off, change modes, etc. After a couple of days, plugged it in to dry it out. Went in water again and the same issues. Took it back and got another because the vid is clear and it is easy to use for a good price. Just won't submerge it anymore.

Rated 1 out of 5Â by sculptur1950 On a 1 to10 scale and 10 being tops, I give it a minus1, oh that has to be a 1!
O.K. itâ™s designed to withstand all that they say it can, and I am sure that it could if you donâ™t use it as itâ™s meant to be used!
What I am getting at is my first opportunity to take the HMX W300 into the water to film and take still images ended in a huge disappointment. I found out the hard way that it took in water in a big way, no it soaked up water in a huge way! Why, well, as I am handling it, placing it in my swimming trunks, swimming , moving about and then pulling it back out to do more shooting, at some point I, yea, me, myself I, accidently opened the USB port and of course water rushed in and now I have no idea if Iâ™ll get my images since itâ™s totally soaked.
The point of my story is that the designers that came up with the locking mechanism never tried it out in the water because they would have found out that if you really want to concentrate on the moment, on the excitement, if you really are thinking more about capturing the action you simply, no you must remember that you need to be very careful how you âœpull it outâ to start shooting. So the point of my story is learn from my mistake! If you always remember to be careful handling the camera, especially in the water, then I am sure it will perform as it is billed, I think!? So would I recommend it, NO!

Rated 2 out of 5Â by SAMOY great idea, does not focus well, very slow.
I was excited when I bought this product to video friends wake boarding and tubing. Very dissapointed with most of the results due to a flaw in the focus mechanism. sometimes it will focus and be crystal clear and impressive but often the image is very hazy regardless of zooming in or out. changed from 780 p to 1080 and no change.
