Underwater cameras

[mkd20012001]

You are correct, you didn't have enough light and the camera took the pictures with a high ISO(producing the noise) and a slow shutter speed(giving you the blur). You will have to be in pretty bright clear water to get pictures to not be so blurry.

Look at some sites, you may find something that helps.

The water was clear as can be, but it was overcast the majority of our trip.

Last time I was underwater with a camera, I had a 35mm Nikonos.

Only two of those would be useful in water deeper than a swimming pool


Why do they no longer have viewfinders on cameras? Trying to compose a pic on the LCD screen in the sun is just about impossible.


... and holding a camera at arms length to take a picture is stupid.

I have a Canon Powershot D10. Waterproof down to 33ft, shockproof to 4 feet, 12.1 megapixels, 3x optical zoom and freeze proof to 14 degrees F.

I love it! It's a really good point and shoot camera. Actually, I am letting a friend borrowing it for her son's swim meets. It's works perfect for every day situations, so I don't have to carry my 30D around with me anymore.
