Default Alveopora and Fox Coral

Alveopora and Fox Coral.

Camera: Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS1

Review: http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/TS1/TS1A.HTM

I decided to buy a waterproof camera after my previous camera got destroyed when water seeped into the underwater camera case while snorkeling last year. Will post some underwater pics in a few weeks.






EDIT: OOps, please move to the Pictures Forum.

Thanks. I haven't tried underwater pics yet with this waterproof camera. Will try that soon.

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.

A shot of the Alveopora at night time. New tiny polyps have appeared.
