A year or so ago I picked up a Pentax Optio W20 waterproof camera and though it is not as easy to use as my Nikon DSLR...it
does allow some interesting photographic results. I thought I'd start a thread and see what great near water or under water photographs you fellows have
taken with your waterproof cameras.
Here is a decent largemouth bass caught in the Family Pond. I was holding the bass in one hand...and trying to take photos with the other. I thought this one
turned out kind of neat.

Hi Cameron;
I just received the optio W-10 for xmas and I'm curious of what settings you used for your picture? Also, what do you think of the camera so far? Thanks in advance; Wayneb |

WayneB...the hardest transition for me with learning the Pentax Optio W20 was that I was comparing it with my Nikon
DSLR...which really isn't fair at all. Once I started looking at it as strictly a P&S I warmed up to it quite quickly. These cameras, as well as most
of the other waterproof P&S's, take fine photographs and are a lot of camera for the money.
The underwater or near water photos are the hardest photos to determine since typically you can't alway see what you are shooting. It takes a bit to get used to. Last suggestion...practice. |

Well Cameron, I've tried to avoid the digital revolution and have remained with my SLR for a long time....but maybe I am slipping in your direction? Nice
image, your avatar is mighty sharp also

Tim...if you are used to carrying around an SLR on or near the water...then I'd recommend jumping for a DSLR instead of
getting a point and shoot digital. You will really be amazed what you can suddenly do with your photographs...with no film costs! We've had our Nikon
D70s for almost three years now and it has paid for itself with the images we've been able to get of our daughter growing up, vacations, and of course fly
fishing photographs!
