My wife and I bought one of these about three weeks ago. We're still figuring out the quirks, and it really took us this long (up to last night) to try the thing underwater. It's tough to get past the electronic-device-and-water-don't-mix thing. But we took a few photos in the hot tub, but the room was pitch black so the flash only worked for a foot or so. The details up close were good, I can say.

Actually, the camera is pretty nice. The pics are clear, the thing is easy as hell to use, and today we did a mud session and took 60 photos (we normally are lucky to get 20 to come out good.) The camera got muddy and wet from the hose, but I rinsed it off and it never stopped working perfectly. I wish I had some pics loaded to demonstrate, but I can't load them from my computer yet (my computer's issue, not the camera.)

I highly reccomend this camera.

I just saw this camera featured on "Daily Planet" on the Discovery Channel...I was wondering if anybody here has used one and can tell mee the quality of the underwater pix...Its got some pretty cool features too.
