[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I just got back from a trip to Belize with that very camera (and saw one other snorkeler with the same one). I used both Supra 400 and Supra 800 underwater with good success exposure-wise. I wasn't as impressed with the sharpness of the UW shots when I looked at the negs with a loupe, but then what was I expecting - a 35 ASPH? On land it's a decent but not outstanding P&S. For underwater shooting I think the extra snap of the Supra films makes them a pretty safe choice. The day after I got back a Nikonos IV arrived in the consignment case of a local store, but I didn't spend too much time pining - in retrospect I think the little Canon is a good choice for someone who doesn't have much experience with UW photography and wants to being back *something* from a pricey vacation.
