From what I have heard (I haven't seen one yet), the underwater mode does some color correction for underwater shots based on using their optional housing.
I will be interested to see what it does. Might be a useful feature for shallow water/ snorkeling.

Ike doesn't have a housing for the 7900. If you use a strobe you don't need any special u/w mode.

it's in digital photo-underwater digital-housings-ikelite-point&shoot page 3 model #6181.79 $264.95
ohh. u mean the housing for 5200..not the 5900... I don't think the housing will fit the 7900 mate... the buttons are all located in different positions.phillybob:
have a look at the camera back in these sites:
