              I bought this camera specifically for a cruise and scuba diving. It worked for two days. I DID NOT even go underwater and the screen went completely blank. SO DISAPPOINTED. I got insurance and was told that if anything happens to the camera, I would get a new free one. HOWEVER, the fact that liquid damage is not covered, yet this camera is waterproof, is quite obsurd in my opinion. I had to buy a one time use camera for scuba diving. Please do not make the same mistake I made

              AW110 has an OLED screen so I imagine the battery will last longer due to it taking less energy
