hey T

Good to see you here again.

Re: the camera, from the review it seems pretty basic. It has flourescent wb and ISO as low as 50 which are both good things, and it has something called Manual shooting mode, but I can not find anywhere any info on the range of Aperature and Shutter speed, which is what manual is all about. For aqua photography those are essential as you are shooting through water and not air, so automatic tends to make things look bad.

I am not as worried about it being only 3+ megapixels but the manual features are extremely important. If $350 is your ceiling look for cameras that can give you those features, if they are available.

Comments , anyone else???
