Amazing Underwater Photos
on August 21, 2010
Posted by: DJ
Images taken underwater in the underwater mode are incredibly clear. The features like zoom, video and flash also work underwater. I've been able to continue enjoying my snorkeling long after I've been out of the water. Just remember to set the mode! The camera has many modes for dry shooting too.

Very happy after 2+months
on August 20, 2010
Posted by: cycleboy
I got this for my birthday in June. I already have a 20D DSLR and was excited to get something more portable to take on outdoor adventures. It has performed great on a beach camping trip, indoors, shooting my front yard, at an amusement park, and on a backpacking trip to over 12,000 feet. On the backpacking trip, I used it to shoot trout underwater and they came out great, when I could get them in the frame! Thus far very happy with it and it is a nice complement to the DSLR. The ability to get it in the water and not worry about it in adverse conditions is great. I've read that "it's too big to put in a pocket", but I guess I have big pockets because I do that all the time. About the only thing I'm not totally happy with is the optical zoom. Once you zoom in further, things get shaky, and noisy. It's tough to zoom in past the 3X point and still get clear, clean shots w/o a good tripod.
Pros: really easy to use, u/w mode works great, tons of auto modes
Cons: a bit more optical zoom would be excellent

I was excited...

I was sooo excited to get this camera, but after less than 18 hours I found out that the card/battery opener doesn't shut all the way without a lot of work.
ALSO- I was holding it and turned it on, and it right away turned off. Multiple times. And a few times it didn't even turn on.
I don't know what's wrong with it.
I really like the pictures it take and I like a lot of the features- I'm just nervous to submerge it in water like I had hoped to, since I can't afford to take it in to the shop.

I am. over all. very pleased with the D10.
My purchase was based on both practical experience, knowing what I needed and wanted, and budgetary issues.
The D10's size and shape are very important. It is easier to use underwater than thinner and smaller cameras. Not that the D10 is large, I can put it in my shirt pocket. Placement of Control buttons etc. and the 30' depth rating, also play a role in this scenario.
Still photos are sharp and crisp. Videos are also good, but lose quality quickly as you zoom in on your subject. This is the only reason I did not give the D10 a 100% excellent rating.
I needed an inexpensive Underwater Camera that would give me still photos and video clips. The D10 fits my needs to a T.
Easy to use, easy to carry, easy on the pocket,
Pros: price, size & shape, 30' depth rating, ease of use
Cons: video quality poor when zoomed in

Great purchase

I recently purchased this camera, and being an avid camera user, I must say this was a great purchase. I love canon products as I own several canon cameras, and was very pleased that canon came out with an underwater digital camera. The camera works great and takes wonderful pictures with great image quality.

D10 Delivers over and under the water...
on August 8, 2010
Posted by: MauiLizard
from Maui, HI
The Canon D10 performs above the water and below, it is durable and withstands the abuse of a three year old boy, who has no limits on which buttons to push, or how far to drop the camera. And he can still take the best pictures with it. His grandfather {me}, loves the underwater pictures that it takes too. Proof is in the results… First pictures taken were of Humpback whales, underwater off Maui; stunning video and pictures of the escort, mother, and calf swimming toward the Rigid Inflatable Boat. Pictures of waterfalls, looking straight up without fear of what would happen were the camera get wet. Resolution is the best, and while we love the Canon 50D we own – this is the camera we take without regard to storage or expense, everywhere in pocket or purse it is ready. And it does the job without the concern of security issues. If we need high quality pictures with no safe lockup available for the 50D we take the D10!
Lacks Raw CR2 resolution - Else Perfect in every way.

A suitable camera for wet conditions
on August 6, 2010

I've owned the D10 for about two months and have substituted it for my N5 for shallow water and rain/wet condition work in the field. The controls on the camera are confusingly labeled when compared to most cameras, but the functions are admirable. As a seasoned pro (over 35+ years experience) the D10 makes for a light, somewhat easy to use camera in adverse conditions.
I bought it specifically for a kayak trip down the Napali coast of Kaui. It actually performed better than expected, albeit the shutter lag...fix your software Canon!!!!. Add a flotation device to the camera prior to using this in the surf or underwater or suffer potential loss; and Do, repeat, Do read the instructions prior to first use. From all the reviews and failures, I suspect that the cameras adversely affected were inadequately closed. After downloading my 8 gb sd card (why not a cf card???) I was surprised by the quality and focus of the underwater shots. The locations for the handstrap allow you to adjust for swimming and a decent underwater grip. I am going to add some silicon to the body after warranty to provide a better holding surface. Controls can be a little tough to work underwater, so make sure you memorize them. A nice surprise was the battery life in standby mode. The lense and screen shed water nicely for 1/2 frame shots. Surprise yourself & test in a pool first.
Pros: quite decent for the price, good focus following underwater
Cons: controls need refinement, requires careful prep before use
