From the manufacturer:
It's easy to take great pictures with this fun underwater camera. Just select your film speed, then pick a lens aperture that will provide you with the most desirable depth-of-field. With Aperture-Priority automatic exposure operation, the Nikonos-V sets the right shutter speed for you - from 1/1000 of a second to 1/30 of a second for ambient light exposures. Also available is TTL auto-flash exposure control. Or, for greater creative control, you can opt for manual exposure. In either case, the Nikonos-V shows you bright LED shutter speed and exposure information right inside the viewfinder. Ergonomically designed for easy operation with diving gloves or bare hands. O-rings allow for water-tight picture-taking down to 165 feet. Available in orange or green. Supplied with rubber neck strap, spare O-ring set, and 3V lithium battery.

From BetterPhoto:
This is a great camera but -let's face it - it ain't easy! If this is your first time with underwater photography, wet your chops on a single-use underwater camera or use a EWA marine soft case. This is definitely a great camera

Alan Armbruster member since: 10/30/2004	Rating: 5 out of 5 I have used probably 30 different underwater cameras / housed cameras to compare. I find the Nikonos V is without a doubt my favorite. It is small (compared to housed 35mm cameras). The lenses are sharp, 35mm, and 15mm, and, it is extremely rugged. Unfortunately, Nikon has discontinued making them. That's fine, I'll keep using it until it dies, then...... who knows, maybe my D70 will get a housing. 1/15/2006 6:34:06 AM

Robyn L. Churchill member since: 3/2/2004	Rating: 4.5 out of 5 A favorite of underwater photographers for many years--both professional and amateur. 3/10/2004 10:24:17 AM
Robyn L. Churchill member since: 3/2/2004	Rating: 4.5 out of 5 This camera has been around for a number of years and is no longer being manufactured by Nikon. It's was one of the favorites of underwater photographers in the pre-digital era and is still widely used. It can be used by professionals as well as amateurs. 3/10/2004 10:11:20 AM

N/A	Rating: 5 out of 5 This is a great camera but -let's face it - it ain't easy! If this is your first time with underwater photography, wet your chops on a single-use underwater camera or use a EWA marine soft case. This is definitely a great camera; when I used it in Monterey, California, I had a great time and enjoyed the obviously high-quality of the equipment. However, I needed a lot more practice; my pictures were not my best ;^) 1/12/2000
