This is the camera I’ve been waiting for. I’m a Canon fan, but I got the Olympus 1040SW back in the spring before going on a vacation. It’s a great little camera, but the menu is just foreign to me. Everyone liked the camera when I went away, and it’s been to a few parties as well. So the camera has been from the ocean to a pool to a hottub, I wouldn’t do that with anything else. Except a Canon one….

10m is everything, if your UW case suddenly fills with water!
This happend to my Canon S80, may it rest in peace…

I have no use for this. The best underwater camera for a reasonable price is the G9 and when the UW case is out it will be the G10 (wider lens). All my diving friends and UW photographers I know use the G9. 10m is nothing, the UE case of the G9 and IS1100 goes down to 40m.

this camera would not exactly be ‘ground-breaking’. Olympus have been producing a camera like this for a while now.

Many people buy the Olympus waterproof cameras when they go on vacation – the feature is a good selling point for these folks even if they never end up using it. Canon could sell quite a lot of these.

I hope they come out with a waterproof camera. I’m in the market for a high image quality, compact, waterproof camera, with a nice move mode (preferably HD). So far I haven’t found any cameras that I’m willing to pay for in that market. A lot of them look good on paper, but the images are very disappointing.
