Great pictures. Do any of these shots have any post production touch ups (Photo Shop or Picasso stuff) or are they direct downloads fromt he camera?

I still have a 770, but had troubles with too many blurred shots. I upgraded to 8000. I still use my 770 for a boat back up. I only used the UW 1 settings on both the 770 and 8000.

Is there a way to change the dive data (date/time) once it has been imported on the computer? I changed batteries on my dive computer, and didn't realize the date and year were wrong. When I loaded new dives to my computer and dive lists, it read 2003 instead of 2011. Is there a way to change...

Thanks for the set up pictures! I only use one strobe, so when I take the plunge and upgrade from my OLY 8000, my rig should be a little smaller. I understand I will have some shadows, but my pictures are for scrapbook stuff anyway.

Can you post a picture of your set up?

One of the questions the average diver like myself, who uses his camera for memory snapshots and not publications, the better sensor or the EPL series will provide a much better quality image of low light scenarios such as wrecks, or it may provide a better image of a turtle or shark that is...

Beepbird---did you mean the EPL-2 housing is bigger or smaller than the C5050?

Thanks for the input. The XZ1 is probably all I need, but the appeal of having the larger sensor of the EPL series is intriguing---probably my Tool Time Binford--bigger,better, stronger mentality. In reality, about 80% of my photos are snapshot quality, done for memory keepsakes---wow---look at...

I guess I will just have to find a place that has both of them, and compare in my own hands. Frank (Underwater)-- I clicked on your photos--your set up with the double strobes and focus light would be way too cumbersome fo me. I use only one strobe and probably will add a focus light. I...

For you pros that have actually tested the above, is there that much a difference in size and weight between these two, especially for underwater use. It seems the price for the XZ1 and EPL1 is about the same ($499 at the OLY site). The EPL1/2 seems to be optically a much better system with a...

Is there any main drawback to having two different strobes? Say you already have one, and decide later that you want to upgrade your system and go to two. Assumeing the two different strobes fired together, would it make a major difference to an amateur just having fun, or would the photos be off?

Thanks! Good info. As you might have noticed, I goofed and posted this question twice by accident. It seems I might want to stick with my OLY 8000 as a P&S instead of upgrading to the XZ1. If I really want to upgrade for a little better quality and light sensor, then think about the EPL.

Thanks guys. My underwater shots are more snapshosts for my own personal use. I do own some older DSLR's, but got into the OLY underwater series after some of my friends had some leaks with their DSLR housings and blew out their cameras. I figured that even if my housing leaked, the 8000 would...

My mistake. I tried to post the question, computer froze, and when I logged on again, I didn't see the post, so I wrote it again. Sorry.

Could someone compare these two systems for both underwater and on land use. I am somewhat confused as to which system would be best as an upgrade from the OLY 8000 for my travel and undewater camera. With two new systems launced so close together, it is a little confusing. Thanks!

What are the basic differences of these two cameras both for underwater and and above water as a travel camera? Sort of confused with these two newer products introduced so close in time to each other.

Underwater Good info. I really like the double clip idea of holding your camera to your BC that I noticed on one of the photos. What type of image processing tool were you using? Was it Photoshop or something else? I struggle with the complexity of Adobe even though I own it. I wind up...

Is the OLY viewer 2 a free app? How does it compare to Picasa? I have Photoshop, but way over my head and too cumbersome for this amateur, so I don't use it. I started to use Picasa because it was free, had great organization, and had many one click features that worked for day to day photos...

What would be the results if you had not done a WB? Would the picture just be more "blue" at that depth?

Could one of you guys in the know how compare and contrast these two new Olympus lines. I have the OLY Tough 8000. I was thinking about upgrading to the EP-2 maybe next year, but the new XZ-1 confused me.
