Hi,
Recently I bought the Panasonic Waterproof Camera. I do alot of outdoor activities so opted for something alittle more ‘tough proof’ . Took it to the reef last week, and went to the 10 metre diving limit and the photos are great! Clear and even picked up the blueness in the water. Also does HD videos underwater which turned out good but must remember to go ‘slower!!’. Battery is good and last a full day swimming and also took it in to chlorine and takes good normal pictures with the 14mp. Distance underwater depends on clarity of the water but for me in North Queensland typical ocean conditions, i got to about 3 metre clarity.
Does anyone know of any good editing software that is compatible with this camera? So far I recommend!
The skippers on my yacht who have done many yachting races and scuba diving also recommended as the best they’ve used so far.
