Dude, if not being waterproof is a requirement, why even buy one of these units ? Just use your iPhone or Android phone...I need the waterproof, dust proof, shockproof features as I don't want to ruin it getting it wet, wrecking the circuitry. I also surely don't want sand getting into it while in the beach. Coolest of all, I can finally have a cheap way of videotaping my kids swimming underwater...$50.00, can yours beat that ? I'm not rich...
