It also works on the S50.

Besides SCUBACAM, Diver Airman also has a pressure chamber to test these items. Not sure if he is cheaper. O-rings are the most likely cause of leaks. The casing may also have some hairline cracks at the corners. Inspect the casing in bright light from all angles and sometimes you will...

It is not so much the camera but the lens. The Nikonos Lens is specifically designed for undewater use, so is very very good. The body just has the metering and stuff. There is another swiss made camera called subeye. Reminds me of hassleblad. This camera can use both Nikonos Lens and...

Like I said, I do not use the Canon O-ring grease for my WP-DC300. I change the O-ring once a year. Clean and grease at the end of everyday worth of diving.

You have to go to Canon to get the O-ring. I just use food grade silicon lubricant for the o-ring. This is the regular lubricant use for dive gear o-rings. My current brand is Poseidon from richmond. Sometimes I use the Ikelite silicon lubricant.

If you are not fussy with quality of photo, then ISO 200 to 400 film speed should do it. If not fussy, use film not slides. Film (negative) is generally more forgiving. Since you are snorkeling you will be on the surface where there is lots of light anyway. What brand? Alamak...

I would have used David here also, but it was taken. By the way, that is my real name.

When I mean S60 with housing, I mean S60 with housing second hand. When S80 comes out, I would think many would upgrade and get rid of their old stuff. Both new and second hand S60 will drop in price, you know the market forces lah. G2, S30 and S40 all use the same image processor. The...

If you are going to pay so much for housing, I would rather go and get a DSLR. The lenses and lens ports etc are much better in the long run. Can really use a good camera on land too and not be limited by lens options. Even if the MP is not that high. To me I rather not house the G2 in a...

To my horror when I opened the camera bag, I found the UW casing and below it suppose to be the camera, but it was all FILM for my Nikonos. On that trip not only did I not have my digital camera, my favorite wide angle Nikonos lens was stuck at some unknown focusing distance. The focusing...

If the photos are coming out greenish while shallow, you can try florescent WB If the photos are coming out brownish becuase of dirty water, you can try tungsten WB If the photos are coming out greyish blueish because of overcast day clear water, try cloudy WB If you have CUSTOM WB...

Yah lah... that might be me:devil:

When the S60 was new, I was lucky enough to be invited to play with it. Then the S70 came out, but I was who knows where working or maybe diving. I rushed into a 3 week dive trip and had 2 or 3 hours to pack for the WHOLE family. Somehow I forgot to pack my digital camera!?!?!?! I was...

Photo 1 Forgot to mention, when diving shallow you are frequently subjected to the motions of the waves. So not only are the Damsels dancing around, you are also swaying with the waves. So subject is moving and so are you, you might even want to try a shutter speed of 200. If it is dead...
