Re: Digital camera

I have a Canon Ixus 700 (same as S70 as Huan mentioned in previous post) with a UV-housing. I paid like $750 for it with the housing. The housing is rated 40meters (130 feet?).

What I like about it
* Video is great, 640*480 / 30 FPS (almost like DV-camera). Also it adjust lightning during filming as the previous models did not do. This is the main reason why I bought the IXUS, to film under water.
* Excellent battery time. I got two batteries but I almost never have to change. I easily fill up both 1GB memorysticks on one battery.

Video at the highest resolution gives you 9 minutes of footage (1 GB memstick). Decreasing resolution will bring it up 4 times. You can also shoot at 60fps (320x240).
