Brandon, how do you find the still shots it takes? I have a major trip coming up next year and this would be great for some underwater shots (opposed to dunking my DSLR)

I actually hadn't used it for stills until earlier today. I brought with me when I went to my mom's for a swim and just set it to automatically take a photo every 2 seconds. I'll post a couple of the shots below. And not only can you have it automatically shoot every 2/5/10/30/60 seconds, but you can also use a self timer or triple shot mode.

Here's 2 shots from earlier today so you can be the judge

For all the guys wondering about the gopro - I have also been looking into getting one but was really unimpressed with the image quality underwater. That would be the main reason for the purchase for me, so I was a little upset. I found this video that shows how to fix the problem.

 

- If you read the description it links you to the work that was done.

 

This camera seems like a beast for things above water, but if you're like me and looking for some below water action just keep this in mind!

there are some interesting things out there for fixes for underwater I guess if i get one I will have to see how it works for me underwater before I buy the extra fixes or make one.

 

I thought it would be cool to put the head set on when some one or myself is fighting a musky then when its time to land the fish you get my view of things then I would hope to set the camera down up front on the boat so I can get some video of the fish as we take it out for pictures.

 

I want to also try underwater videos but might hold off at first.

That was totally cool Brandon.

Once again thanks to everyone who's watched the video....over 3400 views now!!

and Mike, A cheaper yet still very capable editing program is Final Cut Express. It retails for around $199. It was the stepping stone program I used while making the jump from imovie to Premiere and I liked it a lot.
