Do you have an external strobe, or are you using the internal on the camera? How is the G10 w/o the external strobe?
IÃ×e been using an old Powershot S500 for years. Gets me some decent picÃÔ here in SoCal and in the tropic / south pacific.
IÃÎ going back to Fiji for 3 weeks this fall to get married and dive. IÃÎ thinking of upgrading to a camera w/wider lens, and at least some control over shutter speed, F-stop, and processing time (what I always called ÅÇilm speed) and of course a few more mega-pixels
As you can see IÃÎ happy w/something not overly complicated; IÃÎ shooting to put pics on my wall, not in National Geographic so I prefer not needing an external strobe ;-) The G10 caught my eye, but I read some on-line reviews that it wasnÃÕ great in low-light situations. IÃÅ love any additional feedback from someone whoÃÔ actually had it underwater!

I use the internal, although I will be getting an external soon. Without the diffuser, it is worthless. With the diffuser, it works OK for closeups. Here are two galleries of shots with it, some in the first have the flash, almost all in the second do. The second one is SoCal so you can compare. These are the only two times I've used the setup.
