In June Hubby gave me a Canon A710 IS for my bday. I had just given him one for his bday in Dec.

Tara, I agree with Bill especially if you already have the housing for the Canon, then the Canon is the way forward.

We have 2 Olympus cameras with u/w housings. I use a 30-30 (I inherited this one when Dave got his new one) and Dave uses an 80-80. I had my choice and got he older model because it does not have as many buttons and settings, His can be confusing with all of the buttons. Both cameras take great pictures, the operators sometimes achieve mediocre pictures. Look all of the cameras up online that you are considering and compare pros and cons.

can anyone tell me if the Fugi underwater cameras work fairly well? I would like to take some pictures while in Bonaire

Tara I have to agree with the others, stick with the Canon because you know it and you do not have time to learn a new system. You should order one today and try to get in some shutter time before Bonaire.

I agree Boom, get a refund. However, I love my oly sp 350 with that nice big 2.5 inch lcd screen. it has many many functions, and a hot shoe if you want to eventually get a strobe.

This year we used a Fuji Finepix 30 with Fuji's UW housing, very compact and very easy to use. We are just getting into UW photography so perhaps our opinions are limited. Never the less, one of our pictures unedited won Habitats's weekly photo contest. We have several excellent shots (considering it was our first try)
