Hi all

Is anyone using one of these underwater yet? I haven’t been able to find any reviews or sample u/w photos, but it sounds like a great camera and I’m tempted to upgrade to it. Any thoughts?

Hi & welcome Ecodiver,

I have not looked into that model yet but the Image Stabilizer
is surely a good feature for ambient light underwater photos.

It’s also got a slightly wider lens and manual white balance. It’s said to be quite rapid shooting too. It’s a pity they don’t have “fish recognition” instead of “face recognition” mode!
