So, this forum appears to be full of discussions on taking nice pictures through the glass/plex etc, but I can't seem to find much of any information on people taking underwater pictures. Here is my situtation. I have an interest in taking solid underwater pictures in Hawaii where I go very often, as well as many other places I intend to go in the near future as I finally have the funds to do so. I am in need of an external type digital camera that is pocket size or so, but does good all around pictures. What I have seen is some of them that have the underwater cases good down to around 100ft. A while ago I spent a lot of time taking pics with a 2.3 mp cannon sd230 with a case and am far from happy with the results. I think something like this but better, yet still small is an option as most of my diving and snorkeling stuff will be not that deep. The issue of glare with any silt and time to take the pic while holding breath is something I want to fix, but I don't know if some of the better newer cameras won't have this problem as much or if the only option is the attachable type arm flash thing....which also are available with some. Or should I get one of those underwater type cameras that aren't necessarily that good for above water and then maybe get another camera for above water, clubbing etc type of pictures? The bottom line is I need an underwater camera that wil be able to take high quality pictures that I can blow up to at least like 20x10 and put on my walls, without needing to be within a foot from the subject if possible. If I need to get a different camera than one of the newer cannons etc that use a case but aren't underwater camera, then tell me that, but I am hoping I can get a multi purpose that will do that job and save me some coin.
I know its a lot of babling, but if you read this and know something about cameras....help me out!
