    New camera is here!

    This may be the first time I've read the manual to anything, but I want to make sure I seal this thing up right! I'm going Sunday to a place I've been wanting to paddle for a while, so I'm very excited to try it out. First impressions: Yes, it's a bit on the bulky side, but not horrendous. And I think it starts up faster than my old Coolpix S600, and that thing was fast! Controls are seemingly well layed out and I think it has quick access to every setting I'd want. Of course, the real test will come Sunday.

    Camera Test

    and what I learned.

















    I learned I hate this thing. It's only good if you're shooting all underwater.
    I am going back to my Pelican case.
    Bah.
    ETA- I forgot to say I was using something similar to this

    Some of those pictures are good. Others not so much.

    I just ordered a case for my dslr to use while kayaking - I have a feeling it's going to have similar results, but I'll try it - I'm boggled as to what to do with seacaves.

    Can you return it?

    What kind of camera is it for? It may be time for a new higher-megapixel underwater camera.

    Oh, nevemind. I was able to get the link to load finally, and the housing won't work for diving (obviously.)

    Too bad it isn't what you want...the camera takes good pictures.
