Recently I bought an underwater point and shoot 8 MB Vivitar 8400 camera, good to 30 ft, to share my UW experiences with friends and family. I have also purchased a 4GB SDHC memory to go with the camera. I am truly disappointed with the videos I took, both in and out of the water. The image is fuzzy/unstable even at relatively slow camera movement - Image is like driving 100 miles an hour and taking video through the side window - not sure what the problem is, it could be the SD card, or just the cheapo camera. Your feedback is appreciated. I would hate to go and buy another SD card to find out I still have the same problem.
Probably I should have bought a 'real camera' to start with, however I'm not sure if UW photorgaphy is 'my thing'
About the camera and settings:
Image Resolution - selectable from 8M to 0.3M - set for 5MB
Video setting VGA 640x480 at 30fps
Lens f=7.4mm, F=2.8
Shutter Speed Electronic shutter:1/20 ~ 1/6000 sec
Thank You!
