Alveopora and Fox Coral

[sphelps]

Very nice pics!

I know a few people who purchased a variety of these so called waterproof cameras (not the Panasonic though, mostly Olympus) and they worked great at first but eventually failed from water damage. After you use them for a while all the little o-rings and gaskets just don't work well anymore. It's good for times you're in the rain or snow but not really great for completely submersing. Basically I'd give it an IP-67 standard but not an IP-68.

You're better off using the underwater housings, you just have to be careful with them and always check your seal before heading out. Also keep the o-ring greased and replace it yearly. Doing so will result in a much more reliable seal when compared to "waterproof" cameras.

I am very curious to see some underwater shots from your cam. We have the first generation Olympus underwater digi we got about 4 years ago. We have taken it on numerous snorkeling trips and it is holding out just fine, aside from the speaker being shot,.... but the photos aren't great quality and I'd love to pick up a new waterproof cam that takes better pics. I'll have to check the reviews on this one. Cool pics!
