Does anyone have experience or even opinions on taking underwater pictures with the Canon D-10 camera?

I love the D10, all three of the ones I have owned. Canon has replaced mine -- free of charge -- three times in 15 months. Works like a charm, until it doesn't work. I have no problem, taking movies or pictures. The moving object is a problem but that is not a camera thing.

After doing a little research on digital cameras, we bought a Canon D10 last summer for the trip to Bonaire. We snorkel so the 33 feet depth limit was not a problem for what we do.

My friend took this picture with her D-10 while snorkeling in Hawaii.

Answer to q. about D10 failures. My three D10 failures were as follows: twice it just died without any error messages. The third time the LCD fogged up after 15-20 minutes on land and in the water. All were within warrantee and all were replaced by Canon. I simply went to the Web site where I had registered the camera, entered my model number and got authorization to mail the camera back for repairs. Twice I got new cameras back and once I got a refurbished camera.

The results in this thread seem consistent with the customer reviews elsewhere. Out of some 396 customer reviews of the D-10 on Amazon, 312 give the camera 4 or 5 stars but 52 rate it at 1 or 2 stars. There are very few in the middle.

Patsy: Thanks for the info and pictures with the TS2. You have an extra s after the http that needs to be removed for your link to work.

Among other things, the D10 is negatively buoyant. It'll sink like an expensive rock if it gets away from you. (Mine is currently at the bottom of a river, somewhere between Idaho and the Pacific Ocean.) A tether or lanyard is worth the investment.
