duanec Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 bought one of those olympus cameras last week and was dying to get some shots...was out the last 4 nights in a row and got skunked all 4. wtf. started thinkin it was the camera curse, but broke it in last night: managed to land a few on a streamer after dark. still working out the kinks but it's a start. love the camera.

duanec Posted August 1, 2008 Author Share Posted August 1, 2008 What brand did you go for? i got the olympus. best buy had the 8 MP [i think that's the starting point now] on for $270. the 10 MP was another $100. it's waterproof to 3 meters, freezeproof to like -10 or something and shockproof. i bought it as a buddy has one for since xmas and said it's pretty bulletproof - he has dropped it onto concrete, had it in mud & sandy conditions, etc. i got to figure out how to use it properly and take decent underwater shots now, some that have been posted here look awesome.

reevesr1 Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Guys, It takes awesome underwater pics in underwater mode. You can use underwater mode and burst (like 1 pic a second) mode to give yourself the best chance for a good shot. Burst mode does drop the resolution some, but the pictures are fine unless you want to make a 8X10 or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
