A620 Review - looks promising

They've just posted a review of the Canon A620 on dpreview

Looks promising.

Some reasons: Apparently very fast at focusing, shutterlag, write time and flash recycle time.

One downside: no raw mode

However, it appears from the menus that there is an "underwater" white balance option. Could this give the most important benefit of raw, without the large file sizes?

Any comments??

Anyone (e.g. Ike) know when the Ikelite housing will be released for it?

Cheers,

any "preset" for white balance is in my opinion, a waste of time. Rarely if ever will two shots underwater white balance at the "same" settings.

In other words, I see a lack of raw as a lack of raw. All the "built in" underwater modes are once again, just presets. I would look for a camera with the same features as this one but include raw capabilities.
