nabi Square HD Camera (Discontinued by Manufacturer)

I just came back from a two-week trip in which I used this camera for snorkeling almost daily, using the 720p 60fps setting. The waterproof housing worked perfectly and I had no leaks. For the people who reported leaks, I wonder if they left the lens cap tether attached, which would obviously let water leak in. Even in the case, the camera captured a good amount of sound. A nice feature is that the camera turns itself off after a few minutes of nonuse, so you don't have to take it out of the case to shut it off.For better or for worse, this camera has a very wide angle fisheye lens. It's useful to capture a huge area in your video frame, but it also gives a very distorted image and makes everything look farther away than it is. Regarding image quality, I've used the GoPro Hero3 Black in the past, and the Nabi's image quality is in no way comparable. Anyone who says otherwise obviously hasn't used the GoPro. Videos and photos lack the sharp definition of the GoPro and photos in particular are noisy/grainy.Bottom line: this camera is a great value if you catch a sale price, and works very well underwater, but don't expect GoPro quality images.

Really good lower cost option Go Pro alternative. Love the camera and its compatibility with all the Go Pro Accessories. I only gave it 3 stars due to the lack of support.- support access from Nabi. Calling for support gives an automated message stating there is a one hour wait. Having called multiple times at different times the message is always the same.- There is no email support option on their website. There is a parent run Facebook page (Actually listed on the Nabi Support Site) where you can post technical questions to be answered by the community. Still waiting for a response to mine.- Finally this is marketed as a "Kid" friendly camera. Kids loose things and in the case the remote that comes with the camera has been lost.- Want to inquire about potentially getting another however there does not seem to be a good way to get an answer.Bottom line: The camera itself is great and its compatibility with Go Pro accessories is really nice. The support is lacking and make sure to not loose any of the pieces.

This little camera is amazing. My 6 year old (I know the package says 13+) loves to mount this on his RC truck and shoot video using the included remote. The waterproof case is perfect for fun in the pool. He also has a mount on his helmet, and mounts the remote on his handlebars to control it. The only reason it's not a 5-star review is the photo quality. Sure, it takes 1080p video and 8MP photos, but my kid is frustrated at the delay in pushing the photo button and the actual picture being taken. 5-star video camera, 3-star photo camera, averages to 4-stars.If you want something for your active and creative child, this is the thing to get. I don't know how it compares to the GoPro, but you can't argue with the price.

Got my camera yesterday and quite satisfied with it. Before buying it, I was concerned about what came in the box, because there's no much information in detail (even in the nabi.com page) but at the end you will receive:--Nabi Square HD Camera (175° Angle, F2.8 Lens, 8 MP supports up to 1080P HD video recordin)--TFT Display (can be removed)--Remote (works up to 15mts) - comes with a clip that can be attached to it.--Waterproof case ( 6o mts)--Variety of mounts.--4 sticky mounts; two gently curved for a helmet or boat or something, two perfectly flat for a board and whatnot.--2 GoPro mounting mechanism bolts--Some spare parts-- A Charging cable, AV cable, USB transfer cable.-- Battery.(it says that duration on video mode is up to 2.5 hours.)-- Micro-SD card.(4 GB)-- and a Carry pouchTesting the camera-I agree with other reviewers, that there's a long delay between photo button press and the photo being taken. Even the triple shot feature takes pictures quite apart, but Im aware that it wasn't made for that.Another thing I was concerned was about low-light pictures. I made some tests in the living room that is lighted up slightly with just a reading lamp and I was surprised with the result.I was looking for an action camera that was water and shock proof, and as many other persons I didn't have the money to spend on a GoPro, so I really think the Nabi Square HD satisfies my needs.- ConclusionOverall, I'm quite happy with my purchase.

Based on the price and the reviews for this camera I bought it mostly because it's waterproof and I like the remote control. It works great but it should not be compared to a GoPro. Although it takes hi-res (1080P) photos/video, the images aren't great. Lot's of light flare in lower lighting and images are grainy. There is also a lack of manual adjustments. Photos and video are also only in fish-eye lens mode. There are lots of stuff in the box and it seems very solid and I will use it for some secondary video shots. Battery life is good too. Great price though.
