Digital camera reviews of Canon PowerShot D10 12.1 MP Waterproof Digital Camera with 3x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 2.5-Inch LCD
Digital camera Review: Best waterproof camera
Summary: 4 Stars
Other than the bulky look of this camera, it did it's job amazingly. Waterproof! you betcha!
Really a good buy! After comparing several waterproof camera, and interviewing friends
who already have a different brand, this was the best choice. I'm really glad I bought
this as a gift for my papi, and we really enjoyed our snorkling shots. Very clear!
even on land.
Digital camera Review: Best waterproof point and shoot!
Summary: 4 Stars
Prior to buying this product I had purchased the Olympus waterproof and had 1 fail within a week, then with my 2nd realized how poor the picture quality was,.,, having owned a canon before I knew of the superb picture quality and ease of use so I am very glad that the same quality was maintained in this waterproof product! Picture quality is great, awesome zoom, and this camera is very durable! I have taken it diving and it works great underwater and the pics turn out great too! I love the feature of being able to easily move the wrist strap for convenience!
On another note: I have had 2 issues, once I was having a "memory card error" message intermittently when I would power the camera on, but removing the card and reinserting it would fix the problem for a picture or 2.. this problem only occurred a
few times in 1 day and not again since!
Another time I was having a boot failure message, which again only happened a couple times!
Digital camera Review: Better Idea for (Floating) Neck Strap
Summary: 4 Stars
Just a quick tip for anyone who's recently bought a Canon Powershot D10 underwater camera (or one with similar pinhole-variety strap mounts), and doesn't want to shell over the $100+ for their accessory kit (or, if you phone them, I think $70 for just the neck strap and the [pointless] shoulder strap). Do this:
(1) Phone Canon and order 2 additional strap mounts (the camera will have already come with 1, for the included wrist strap).
(2) Order Nikon's floating neck strap: http://www.amazon.com/Nikon-Marine-Grade-Floating-Neckstrap/dp/B000075BCZ
(3) Go to anyplace that sells fishing gear (I went to Sports Chalet), and buy split rings (what's that?: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/419Qo145ivL._SL160_.jpg). Size 9 probably works best; get the closest to that that you can. You could, of course, just pull a couple of these off your key rings, but I'm thinking/hoping that the ones made for fishing won't rust as easily, and I know that they're stronger. But don't get much stronger than 40 lbs test -- get much stronger and you won't be able to work with it.
(4) Use the split rings to permanently attach the Canon strap mounts to the ends of the Nikon neck strap; that's 2 split rings, 2 strap mounts, and 2 ends of the 1 neck strap.
Tools I needed were: my fingernail (to start to pry apart the split ring), a flathead screwdriver (to finish prying it apart and then hold it like that for a moment while I slid on the strap mount), and a counter-mounted vice (I stood there in the bicycle repair dept at Sports Chalet and used theirs!...they didn't mind a bit; the vice gave me the steady extra hand I needed to hold the split ring in place while I pried it apart and slid on the strap mount). To get the split ring (which will be securely on the strap mount now!) on the end of the neck strap, you can just disassemble and then reassemble the strap's buckling; you'll see what I mean when you go to do it.
Now you have a strap that will allow you to keep your camera handier than it would be in any other place while you're paddling, and allow you to film your shenanigans (the Canon D10, at least, has that function) while your hands are left free for paddling. Unlike the non-floating Canon neck strap, it will keep your camera from sinking like a rock into the inky depths after that breaking surge demolishes you out of nowhere. It will look cool. You will have made it yourself, sort of. Enjoy.
Digital camera Review: Broke after several times in the pool
Summary: 1 Stars
I thought this was a great little camera. Unfortunately after a few times to the pool, the camera leaked and was destroyed. I am trying the Panasonic Lumix TS1 next. Hopefully it is better.Digital camera Review: Broke in Aruba
Summary: 2 Stars
I borrowed this camera from my best friend. They had taken it to Hawaii with them and came back with some pretty great photos. My new wife and I went on our 10 day honeymoon to the Caribbean. Our first stop was in Aruba. Four wet shots later and it stopped working. So, I am ordering a new one for my friend; but, I would not recommend this to most other people. The unit is too sensitive to shocks.
