What digital camera do you use?

I bought an Olympus 4000 zoom and the PT-10 housing just before going to Cancun and Cozumel. Read the manual on the airplane. It was my first attempt at underwater photography. I did nine dives with the camera and got some nice shots. With the in-camera flash you need to be at arms length for it to be effective. Didnt have any problems with the camera or the housing. I also did a lot of land photos. This is a very good camera.
Also a nice little gadget I bought is a storage unit called an Image Tank. Its basically a 20 Gig hard drive that stores your photos, and its only about the same size as the camera. I only needed one card for the camera and when the dive was over I would load the images into the Image Tank.

canon s40 with the canon housing. pictures are great although the autofocus can run into trouble when you shoot small critters at close range.

This is the camera I'm getting...do you have a link to photos taken with it?

I am using a Canon IXUS V330, and it has been great.
To admit, I used it only once on my last trip and I think the results were not to bad.

I dont have a link but the photos turned out great. Unless the water is absolutly clear you will need to use an image processing program such as Photoshop to touch up the photos. There is always some little critters that get in the photos ( backscatter ) that need some touch up. Also, Photoshop will help with any exposure or color problems. Even photos that look way underexposed can be saved. Usually Photoshop or some other image processing program is included with the camera purchase.

Dee, I've got Photoshop Elements now...I love the program! I play with it almost everyday and find new features. I'm still working on the basics, but so far it's a great program. And I agree, in comparison to Microsoft Picture It, Photoshop is much better. Have a good one!
