This is the point and shoot camera that can be used to 33 feet without a housing. It's about $370. I'm a snorkeler and am currently using a cheapy film camera. I took 6 rolls of film in yesterday and I know that at least half of them will be junk. So I'd love to get a digital but only have the opportunity to snorkel once or twice a year and don't want to spend a ton of $$. Any thoughts on this camera?

Jennifer, I have looked at the specs on this camera in the past and could find no faults. It should be a great snorkel camera.

Just used the Olympus Stylus 770 on Bonaire in July. It worked very well. It has 3 presettings to use under water, and you can do your own settings, if you want. Only 2 downsides:

Thanks for the info Tom. Was the LCD also difficult to see above water in the sun? I agree with you about snorkeling. I always think about get a dive certification but just love snorkeling so much...

The LCD was no problem at all above water. We took pics in sun, shade, even at night in dim light.

Tom would you mind posting just a couple of pics underwater you took with the camera? Thanks for the help

Can someone advise me the best way to post representative pictures? If I understand correctly, to post a picture in a message, a picture file needs to be edited down to less than 50 KB. All the pic files that I took are around 300 KB or more, so editing them down will change the picture so that it is no longer as representative.

Tom, I don't know how to tell you this, but just looking at the pictures is not representative (by your definition). The pictures I take are 3072 pixels wide and my monitor is 1280 pixels, so there's some serious scaling going on just looking at them.

Tom don't worry about it if it's a pain. I'll just take your word for it.

OK, thanks Cecil, for clarifying the process. I'll use multiple posts.
