    oh, and if i remember correctly -- this camera should have had some footage of GitEm's butt-crack on it. i mention that as i believe it pertains to the camera's durability.

    You forgot to mention that all fish are natively 640x480. It's true, try opening your eyes underwater. It's VGA below the surface!

    I'd put xD cards on the "-" list, too. I'm not buying anything from Olympus that uses that crap.

    @aek8: yeah, about that, the water in most places I tested was really murky. wouldn't ahve done anything. Hence the underwater still shot later.

    In reply to Canon Powershot D10 Waterproof Camera Review: Dive, Dive, DIVE!

    Ok, so I understand that this isn't supposed to be an end-all-be-all review, but this is pretty lacking. What about the function of the macro setting on this camera? Does that function well underwater and out? How about the flash? Is it powerful enough underwater to give proper color more than a foot or two? Are there any nasty shadows caused by the flash on the bulbous case - like other canon SD cameras in their underwater cases

    The photos you guys included are, with the greatest respect, appear to be very hastily done and don't appear to scratch the capabilities of a camera like this. In the future, when you do reviews, please do a little more than just walking into the ocean and sticking your hand a foot away from the lens.

    It doesn't take much tinkering, and you can really get a lot of image out of these little point and shoots. My example:

    @geekpi: I Kinda agree, I feel like the underwater shots could have been done with any old p&S in a ziplock bag.

    @lpranal: the shots were taken along side the other cameras in the future roundup, so you can see the photos side by side. more valuable than shots undrwater in murky water. Water quality is a bigger factor in underwater shots, so to judge the shots themselves, you have to be a) somewhere tropical b) take them above water. make sense now?

    In reply to Canon Powershot D10 Waterproof Camera Review: Dive, Dive, DIVE!
    I picked this camera up in Phuket, Thailand last month after my Olympus 8000 busted during a dive. I took it to Bali and Borneo for diving and snorkeling and its underwater capabilities really blew me away. I have previously used the Olympus tough 8000 and 1050sw, and it is a much better camera then both of those. Here are some underwater pictures that I took with this canon:

    This is an investment I might have to make. Looks much better than the green fujifilm one from the other day.

    @itchytooth: The TS1 is a much more appropriate camera for those times when you're away from water. It looks time a pretty standard point and shoot and slips into a pocket easily. It's doesn't go as deep though, so it depends on your needs.

    Say Blam, wasn't this covered some time ago along with the Panasonic cam? Or was that more of a preview?
    EDIT: Oops my bad, you mentioned the previous coverage too. Sorry.

    @Nintenboy01: yes. this is just another look. I'm actually going through all the waterproof cameras together now, but writing them up one by one. I'll do a roundup at the end.

    Brian, can we get a pic of the weird controls? This camera looks neat, something my girlfriend won't break. But not if it's got wanky controls... I don't want to always have to help her use it.
