Just started using an underwater point and shoot - Olympus Stylus 1030SW - and while it doesn't have RAW or flash compensation, it does pretty well.

This is from our swimming hole July 4th, available light.

    Welcome back my friend bowdown.gif


    I have looked into getting one of these cameras myself. I too am dissapointed in the no RAW- Does it have manual settings though? I cannot remember.

    Look forward to more of your work and knowledge. thumb.gif

    No manual but i do pretty well adjusting ISO, rolling down the exposure compensation and sticking a band-aid over the flash (course i sometimes do this with my 580 speedlite too). Seriously :))

    Need a G9, with no shutter lag, that is waterproof. I may go back to film for some low light street work ... wish i could afford a leica. I almost bought a Nikonos at a pawn shop the other day ... but all considered I'm happy with this Olympus.

    As you can see, it's just got such potential for fun, kinda weird fun :)) ...

    They just need to add Raw and manual to the Olympus and it will be all I want in a P&S. deal.gif
