S45 question...any galleries

Hi there,

I'm considering purchasing a Canon S45 with the appropriate housing, but am not ready to buy additional lenses or strobes. Are there any underwater galleries that show the S45 it its basic state? Thanks

I have the S40 which is very similar. You don't say where you are going to go diving, but try these two sites which have pix I took with the basic S40 in the Falkland Islands. You have to get to page 2 of the second link to get the pix, which were taken at 30 metres. The pix on the first link are between 15m and 6m. These were the first time I had used digital so i didn't really know too much about white balance and all that stuff, and they have only been enhanced by the canon software (which for most involved simply using the auto enhance!)

nice pics. I'm actually now looking at the S60. You can shoot RAW with it which will make white balance problems go bye bye. It also has an underwater white balance mode. I plan on going to Cuba for a week at the Jibacoa Breezes resort. The coral reef starts right on the beach, so i wont even have to take a boat. I've never done underwater photography before so I hope it works. I also found this website. he uses a S50 without strobes. Its awesome. www.andylim.com

Actually you can shoot raw with all the S30-S60 series.

hmm. i didnt know that. im starting to question the S60 and am now looking at the C-5060. Anyone have any advice...they both seem good...

Just a thought.

When scrolling through the forums, i only open the threads that are about the canon S range. To get more advice about the Oly cameras, you might want to start a new thread.
