Customer Reviews
I like it!I bought this camera for the first-rate use of taking it with me when I kayak. I had not planned on enchanting any underwater pics, or even totally submerging it into mineral water. But, the first time I used it, I dropped it right in the lake. This would be a yard goods time to suggest that, if you plan on using this camera in a corps of water, buy a floating strap to put on it. Without it, it sinks like a stone. Luckily, we set the camera after it was in the lake for a good ten minutes. I fully expected it to conditions work again. Wrong I was! Works great to this day. Takes skilful shots. Easy to use. Actually waterproof! The only thing I would convert is that there is no cover for the lens. You really requirement to take a cleaning cloth with to wipe off the lens or your shots may look smudgy from crapola that evermore tends to gather on an exposed camera lens. Other than that, I incomparably recommend this camera.
real but not amazing pictures
I typically discharge with a DSL in RAW but also used to have a little Panasonic Lumix that recently died. Bought this camera for household trips that tend to include water activities (and with any luck it won't die anytime soon). Wish this camera had RAW.
I shot once again 700 pics on recent lake trip. What I base:
- camera is waterproof
- used on P (not Auto) mode almost exclusively - I set the ISO to disgrace amount as the higher ISO pictures (that Auto often chose to bound in) aren't worth bothering with - they have a ton of molecule and poor color. I also found I needed to use exposure reward typically at around -2/3rd stop to get rich colored pictures and not from a ton of blown out highlights. I am not sure why Canon likes to have its shots overexposed but my DSL has in any event tendency. If I had been using camera right out of the box in Auto set-up (as I did at home for a couple weeks before the trip) I would be barest disappointed with the resultant pictures (as I was). In Auto mode too multitudinous end up grainy, poor color, etc.
- macro - works pretty proficiently although item has to be fairly near center of picture - couldn't incontrovertibly get it to focus where I wanted it to focus.
- did shoot underwater but pond was cloudy so can't comment on underwater setting color
- isn't great for low beacon action but does great in bright light
- using touch for fill (forced flash mode) on bright days was a bit of a catastrophe - the flash was so bright even at 7' or so away that pictures look non-existent. Unless I can figure out a way to turn flash down I won't be able to use it for carry out. It does seem to do a decent job in darker light settings as race (or does what you expect a small camera flash to do but at smallest amount of correctly exposes main/centered subject).
- movies - what you'd look forward
- I did buy an extra battery (based on other reviews) but didn't end up needing it on any one day in spite of a fair amount of shooting and movie taking and reviewing pictures respectively day.
Good camera for outdoor wet activities - and children who drop things. Expend a little time with the manual and camera and you will mend your shots immeasurably - camera CAN take good pictures but won't willy-nilly without a little help.
The camera is "cute" and my kids preference the way the hand strap can be put on any of the 4 corners. You can't use a neck strap without buying substitute custom corner thingie to hang it from. Clever of Canon. I like that the tightener on the handstrap can be acclimated to to open the tight latch on the battery compartment.
Not usefulness the money
I would acquisition a different camera. I went with Canon because they are THE camera population. However, the camera started failing shortly after I purchased it. It started getting these "lense erroneously" messages and at first I thought nothing of it. Over time, it got more and more habitual. The battery life ids horrible, I went through two fully charged mobile in about a day. I am not saying Canon is bad, just this specific camera.
Canon D-10
I purchased the Canon D-10 as my prime underwater digital camera. I was pleased with the pictures complete. Had no problem using it but found features somewhat cumbersome.
I be suffering with read many reviews about the dreaded "Lens misprint- re-start camera." I felt very lucky because the camera made it utterly my whole trip to Cozumel without a glitch. Once I came about though, that message started to pop up. At first I could storm a battery completely and replace the one inside the camera and the problem would above.
As of today, the Lens Error message came on and changing the battery-operated did nothing. I am so disappointed. I guess my little blue camera has succumbed to the maladjusted Canon says they don't have

Making my friends and relatives jealous!
I got this camera for Christmas at the back of drooling over it for a year or so. The last time I had a point and pump full of lead I was 16 and it had film in it. I needed something to take where I didn't provoke take my SLR but I wasn't willing to suffer in the picture quality responsibility. I've taken this camera everywhere. I can give it to my students to function pictures with and not worry about them dropping it or spilling something on it (however I make sure they wear the wrist strap). If I'd written this re-examination just after Christmas it would have been confident but having used it extensively on vacation, in tide pools, on hikes and in the mere I'd very highly recommend it. At first I was irritated by some of the car settings (it tries to make each scene medium hoary, as far as density/exposure). However, when I played on all sides of with the Program mode I was able to adjust all of the little things that I was against to having control over in my SLR, not as precisely but sufficiently for a point and spring up. Figuring that out, I realized I could also use some of those things (revealing and white balance and manual focus among others) when shooting video. I've had a horrible time shooting underwater video of minnows, trout, salamanders and friends. The Macro drawing card is good but sometimes it rebels when the flowers wiggle in the zephyr, I found placing my steady hand next to the flower and focusing on that works for a excitable shot. Otherwise I use the Manual Focus which lets you get nice-looking close, 2in away... The pictures are of lovely quality, the vehicle white balance is good enough on most occasions. Despite that, as with any other camera I find it's best to choose a swift situation for the camera otherwise it tries to make yellow sandstone snowy as if there were Tungsten light and that looks manifest. The underwater settings are great. I've used them to create detailed color when the color isn't working in other situations too. I was a go red in the face corrector at a big photography lab for years and I know that color can up or break a shot. I also know it's better to not have to for too many changes after the fact. I've been pleased with the preciseness of color and density and can often send pictures to print with no go red in the face correction requested. Something I don't dare to do with my SLR. On the other agency, I was recently taking a picture of a purple delphinium and everything was a okay color except the flower which the camera insisted on making a eldritch sapphire blue that it invented. The camera is a little crucial for a cocktail purse or most ladies clothing pockets but in another manner it's fine. The zoom is good but definitely only in comparison to spur and shoot cameras. I wouldn't take this on a bird watching blunder as a substitute for an SLR camera though it does do better than other implication and shoots in this department. It takes a nice landscape admitting that not as wide angle as I'm used to with my SLR. It also takes gratifying arm-out self-portraits. The self-timer is fun to play with, you can set the especially timer for a 1-30 second delay and have it take 1-10 shots. It's flawless for a silly picture series, family portrait, you riding your horse one more time a jump... all sorts of things. It also takes orderly pretty dark shots, if you hold steady it can usually do a safe job for you. The 3200 setting helps, but it isn't usually necessary. It's a great shape and the more I play with it the more I discover. The pictures I've captivated impress my family and friends because it's an awesome camera I've academic to use well. They're all jealous I can drop, submerge, nearly peg my camera, hand it to cookie dough covered second graders and then sweep it off with a little soap and water. Good to go again. A yoke of friends who are in the market for a new camera are seriously considering it. You're prevailing to like this camera and you won't regret having bought it.
