I noticed that several people posted their videos on here. I'm thinking of getting a camera that makes underwater pics/vids to make a video to check my swimming and decided to buy this model: Amazon.com: Canon PowerShot D10 12.1 MP Waterproof Digital Camera with 3x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 2.5-inch LCD: Electronics Does anyone have this model or have any other good recommendation?

  • I got the Canon for Christmas. So far it has been pretty good. The lens has a tendency to fog sometimes, especially when we were going in and out the ski lodge on a wet snow day. I think the fogging may be because the body is sealed. There is no lens cover, and I have been worried about scratching it, but no problems so far. I got an 8 gig card, which is probably too big. By the time I get around to dumping the photos onto the hard drive, I had 1,500 or so with no organization to them other than temporal. I think the card will hold over an hour of video and some stupid amount (like 10,000+) number of photos even at the highest resolution. But no problems with the camera. My brother's kids took it down a waterslide shooting self portrait videos with no problems, and the underwater pics and videos are decent. The out of water pics aren't the best I've ever seen from a point and shoot, but the ability to take it in and under the water is worth it. I haven't had it down more than a few feet, but it is supposedly good down to 33 feet.
