That little Fuji does look like a nice unit...I'd love to see some shots and hear from people as they get it underwater!

So the Canon A series uses LI-Ion batteries or something? What battery type tends to hold power longest? Also my roommate puts his camera on slideshow the night before so he can run it down and eliminate 'memory'. I thought this was an old problem and was not such an issue on modern batteries.
I'll also have to look into the FUJI. I won't be buying for a month or so due to a trip but when I get back I hope to use all of these suggestions. Thanks to everyone for the suggestions.
BTW Alcina, I farted around with the white balance yesterday on a 90 ft dive with 50' viz.....wow. Looks like I was at 10 feet. Thanks for the rookie tips writeup!

I use rechargeable NiMH. I can easily get 2 70+ minute dives with flash and lcd plus review from a set. I use from 2100- 2700's at the moment, whatever's charged 
Don't know about "memory" - I don't worry about it. I use the batteries however much they get used, whap 'em in the charger, call it close enough. Not had a problem.

Wow.....what a DB

I have the Nikon Coolpix P5000 with Ikelite housing and DS125 strobe/TTL. The battery lasts for about 150-170 shots with the screen on etc. If you are like I was when I first got it (snapping at everything :no ) it lasted for an hour+ dive. Once you calm down and try to frame the shot and get the good shot rather than the bad shot, it would last several dives.
All in all, I think it is a great set-up
. I look forward to scanning all my pics from Bonaire in November 
. I have only been able to find one wet lens for it so far....I am an amateur so this is less a problem than it might be for others.This system definitely gets my thumbs up :thumbs_up: .
