Canon ixus 22o HS scuba diving review

I could not find any actual usage info on this camera from the net when I was looking for a suitable underwater camera or anywhere else so I am putting this on a forum for any one wanting an easy underwater camera to use as I was looking for
The first time I used this camera on a (aandtsociety.org.au) diving trip was in 24 metres of water in April this year in only 12 to 15 metres visibility, from than on it has been fantastic at all depths and visibility.
With the aid of auto smart fix on photo shop, this helps bring out the colours from photos taken in dark conditions, the photos from what I have done with no camera experience, came out brilliant.
The camera and it’s compatible housing safe to 40 metres fits into a small wetsuit pocket stitched onto the wetsuit leg easily.
Another handy thing about this camera is when you let go of the camera it sinks very slowly so it won’t float away as well.
When the housing is closed on the camera it senses that and goes to underwater functions.
The button can be held down for high speed photos as it is enabled once the casing is on, at a rate of who knows a how many as I stoped at 25 frames.
The camera focuses for the first frame than stays at that focus from than on while the button is held down.
You hold the button at half way down and it focuses, normally putting the object you are taking a pic of in a box, than click.
It takes excellent macro shots and moving objects as well.
I haven’t used a flash on it yet and haven’t needed to.
The chance I took in buying this ultra light sensitive and compact camera for underwater use was a top investment, it suits me very nicely.
These are a couple of pics I took, plus they are reduced in content to an average of 15 kilobytes for quick internet use, so they are a bit empty,lol.

Hi to you jinhua.

I think they could be some really nice shots, but the compression from either the resize or photobucket is killing them.

That’s quite true, they are nice pics for a point and shoot camera in low light conditions.

We keep the originals, the reason I take so much content out of the pics is so they take up very little space in photo bucket and a quick transfer on the net to see them and very little internet pre paid time when looking at them on the net for people that look at our collecting trips we use to promote the aquarium clubs some what unique activities.

If you want to this is the clubs collecting part of our forums, all pics are reduced in content for easy speed of viewing.
