Great camera if you're looking for a waterproof. Only criticism is lack of optical viewfinder - call me old fashioned but I hate trying to compose pictures on an LCD. However, underwater you wouldn't be able to use an optical finder. Pictures are excellent, in and out of water. A bit of advice - if you're looking for a case, go to Lowepro website. They have a document that tells you which of their cases fits just about any camera currently available.
