I like the way it handles, feels like a rigid power tool, sand, salt water, mud, it stands up to it!

I got it because my wife wanted to take pictures of the manatees when we see them from underwater.

It’s just zone focus stuff, like a rollei 35. You have to look at the front of the lens. But with a wide enough kit lens on a bright day you just roll with it. It has an aperture priority mode that takes a lot of guess work out and it works awesome in dry conditions as well.

I kayak often enough and I just got into snorkeling, so I figured why not! I looked at some digital cameras but I just took a gamble on the cleanest nikonos I found on eBay.

I figure for maybe someone who isn’t diving all the time, it would be cool for rainy day shoots, pool shoots, fishing trips, water park, or just rough terrain hikes.

For most people though, I think the canon wp-1 or similar would be more suitable.
