Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
The Intova IC 12 is an amazing feat of underwater engineering. With an updated processor and HD video capabilities, it surpasses the capabilities of the IC 10. I purchased this camera about 8 months ago and I have dove with it all around the world: the Med, Roatan, and Hawaii. There is no better camera available on the market that provides for such versatile picture/video results. It's compact size is designed perfectly for traveling and does not hinder its performance at deep dives (120ft).
I have been a dedicated user of Intova torches and feel they are unmatched during night dives and I finally chose to upgrade from the IC 10 to the IC 12 and the pictures and video I am capturing are simply unmatched compared to my peers equipment (Canon, Sealife, Nikon).
Lastly, the customer service with Intova coupled with quick responses has been unmatched. While diving a wreck off the south shore of Oahu, we were experiencing a bit of chop. As I was climbing back up the ladder, the boat rocked a bit harder than expected and my housing took a pretty tough hit. The camera was not compromised and the housing was still water tight, however, and I had damaged some of the external buttons. I called Intova as soon as I was topside and I had a new housing within 10 days (and its performing just as expected).
Great product, all of the dive shops here on Oahu carry Intova torches and cameras, and they're reliable.
