Canon PowerShot D10 - underwater camera
« on: February 19, 2009, 11:46:09 am »
...So a small tough manual compact would be the ideal caving camera.


The Holy Grail, no less  :bow:


Not quite a fully manual u/w compact, but the closest i've seen...

See http://www.dpreview.com/news/0902/09021805canond10.asp for the details.

Anyone used one of these or got any opinions on it? Or should I just consider one of the other (non-rugged) Powershot cameras and use it 'carefully'?

My current camera, whilst water/shock-proof and still working after all those years of abuse is past its best, bulky, lacking in quality and in need of retiring! I've been dithering for ages trying to find something (small compact, don't want SLR even though they are very good!) that might work with my Firefly 2, although a while back I resigned myself to either using long shutter or upgrading the slave.. :(

...shockproof when dropped from a height of 1.22 meters...

Hmmm, most things dropped by cavers are dropped from a far greater height!

 :lol:
It's life, Jim, but not as we know it......

Looking forward to when they put this software/hardware into a tough case...

Canon releases IXUS 300HS premium compact with manual control

Canon has released the PowerShot SD4000 IS (IXUS 300HS in Europe) ultra-compact camera. It features the company's new 'HS' system that promises better low-light performance and high-speed photography through a combination of a 10MP back-illuminated CMOS sensor and DIGIC 4 processor. It sports a 28-105mm equivalent f/2.0-5.3 stabilized zoom lens (much like that seen on the S90), 3 inch LCD and P/A/S/M shooting modes. The camera also features a Super Slow Motion movie mode that records 340x240 movies at 240fps, as well as 720p HD movies capture.
