Wow, that's cool! I wonder what the image quality's like.
Cheers

that's a good question. It does use folded optics to seal off the lens so it's not going to be super sharp.

its a very popular camera for people here in the tropics who live on boats a lot.
Also with tourists are using these and the pentax's a lot .. especially on snorkely trips .. I must see at least 5 of each a week .. and I am hardly ever our there on the front row anymore ...
but yes out of the 3 people i know who have the 720sw .. I have seen some great image come out of it ... does it use the same imaging technique ?

This looks really cool, *truly* an underwater digicam whereas the Pentax Optio WP I have is really good for only the shallowest immersion.

yes, xD is a pain, but the cards are much cheaper these days. I'd like to test one of these and see how much past 10m it can go

Now I am really interested in one of these to take as a topside/boat camera in my trips. Even when I do take a point and shoot with me in the travels I never take it to the boat afraid of water getting into it. Can someone point me to a good review and/or sample images?
Thanks!

. Olympus is the king of all weather cameras. I have their E-1 and it is a little tank.
Here is an interesting review with regard how deep it can go!

A guy had one in Cocos. Great for topside shooting and snorkeling. He did mention he risked it past 25ft and found most of the buttons stopped working he thinks due to pressure.
Several people have used them below 100 feet without a housing.

The major drawback to the 1030SW is the camera's flash is disabled in supermacro mode. Without a hot shoe, you can't force the flash to fire a slave. A work-around would be to use an INON-165 macro lens adapter and shoot in macro mode where the camera's strobe will fire.
Inon does not currently support the 1030SW.
Another solution would be just not to shoot macro, each to their own. Hopefully Inon will provide an AD adapter soon for the 1030SW.
