50m depth and i'd be interested
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..

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

Hi,
We used our D10 to shoot underwater videos during our recent trip to the Great Barrier Reef. The video qualify (SD) was fine - much better when there was more light. After 2 hours, though, the screen went black and could not be powered on. We removed the card and checked for water, but did not see any. The card was fine, though, so we had our videos. We sent the camera to Canon under warranty repair. They said that there was water damage and replaced the camera for free with a brand new one - not refurbished. I had read where the seals on the initial batches of these cameras had problems, which Canon had fixed. So far so good with the new camera.
