Awesome little camera

This is a great little camera. We have taken pictures with it everywhere from the pool in our backyard to the Galapagos Islands and Bora Bora. Excellent color correction for underwater photos. Videos of swimming with sting rays. This little camera does it all and is our "go to" camera even though I have a high dollar Canon SLR as well. I'm not afraid to turn my 11 year old son loose with this camera in the water. The best do it all vacation camera I have ever had.
My family and I were heading to our first cruise and we wanted to make sure to capture great pictures underwater. I researched quite a bi and found the features in this little camera to be the best. I absolutely love this little submarine!!!! This camera performed well underwater as it did at the sun and evening. The features were easy to use even while UNDERWATER. I was able to switch from photo to video and manuever other features while underwater. I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the pictures in the screen, so what you see is what goes on paper. The software that camewith the camera was equally easy to use. I recommend this to anyone who wants a camera that can be taken everywhere (NO MORE FEAR OF THE RAIN). While looking for a camera I found that some of the comperables were either not water proof for 33ft, such as this camera, or have enough megapixels to provide quality pictures. So, overall this is reasonable in price vs. quality (definately getting your money's worth as far as quality). The only draw back is that major retailers did not carry it, so I had to shop online for it. I was well pleased with the entire process though. Thank you very much for providing me with my new favorite camera and great memories.
I've had this camera for about a year and I love it! It's great because I can literally bring it anywhere. I'm a bit care free, so not having to worry about sand on the beach, getting it wet when a wave knocks me over, or a friend dropping it is the best! I particularly like how clear the auto focus is, and how there's no blur on action shots. I also love the color accent feature which is the main reason I bought a canon in the first place. There are a few downsides though. Its kind of bulky and there's condensation under the LCD when I leave it in direct sunlight which got there even before I submerged it in water. It's also not the best at taking pictures inside with out the flash on. But really these problems do not out weigh how awesome this camera is. I get compliments about it all the time and I hope it will last me till I'm 100 gazillion years old.
I've had my D10 for almost a year, and have had the chance to put it through its paces. I haven't had it fail me yet. I've had this camera for my entire trip to Puerto Rico, which included shots at night, shots on the beach, snorkeling shots, and scuba diving shots. The battery life was excellent, I was able to get almost 200 underwater shots without the battery dying. I find that the built in modes help out a lot to get great pictures. Overall, very pleased with the camera, the only thing I don't like about it is the bulkiness...But that's the price you pay for an underwater camera....
Pros: great pictures, excellent underwater performance, battery life, ease of use
I've owned this camera for about 10 months and its primary use was snorkeling. Boy was I impressed! It takes great pictures both in and out of the water. The camera will stay submerged for over 2 hours at a time and Ive never had a problem. I havent taken it ay deeper than 12 to maybe 15 feet deep but it has worked flawlessly! The buttons are also very easy to use even if youre wearing gloves.
Pros: great image quality, buttons are easy to use underwater
I have owned the D10 for almost a year. I purchased it to take kayaking and use for photography in heavy rain. Recently I used it while white water rafting. Extremely pleased with the results -- both digital and video.
I have owned mine for about 4 months now. The first day I wanted to try everything out, so I could take it back the next day if it failed. I droped it about 5-6 times, froze it, and soked it in the sink for 2 hours, it pasted all my "Feild test" Then I took it diving in the barrier reaf with me. I also live in the deasert. It hasn't failed yet. Takes well above average pics. The battery last all day. The only things I can say bad is that it is big & odd to hold and the screen needs to be recessed a little to prevent scraching. I guess some comprimises have to be made. All in all I like it, and am ordering all the goodies to go with it. If I get 2 years out of it before it breaks I would buy another one.
Purchased this camera first for a rafting trip in the Grand Canyon - quality of photos and zoom were fantastic - no issues with the splash from the river - and I had easy access (strapped it to my life vest). Size and functionality perfect....
Then I took it to a dive trip in Cozumel. The first time the camera was completely submerged - only 2 feet of water - and the LCD failed, never to return. AND, I was the second person that week to have the Canon D10 LCD fail - on only a 10 person dive boat.
If the product itself had not failed, I would have been extremely satisfied with this camera.
