Hope Optio WG-1 Image Quality is Good !

Thanks so much.

I think the Canon D10 IQ equals Panasonic TS series and it has a half stop advantage F2.8 vs 3.3

Also the non-folded lens advantage which can potentially degrade image quality (make the image blurry).

I make a mistake, they are from wg-1

Actually, the video poster mentioned he had the "settings in premiere wrong". Indeed the video is shot with two difference cams, yet quality is similarly cruddy overall. I suspect you're seeing more issues with the final compression (and re-compression when uploaded to youtube) than the camera's original video quality.

Forget all the other things you heard about WG-1 in this video, and pay attention only to video quality of HD clips recorded with this camera. Than compare them with HD videos recorded with Panasonic TS2 or TS3! Big difference isn't it? And very similar thing is also with the quality of photos! Panasonic is clearly much better camera, but indeed, WG-1 has the best macro in class of UW cameras.

Mike Thank you for adding some more pictures.. We did get one late last week in hand. Got it from B&H photo and it only took two days to get to the door.. Have not had much of a chance to go over it much yet... Sure does offer a ton of modes ,filters and some great in camera post processing.. I know it's a lot of money but if it's half the camera they claim it to be it will be well worth the expense.. we did pick up a floaty strap for it!! Please post your settings once you get used to it and if you can post them to US as we don't frequent this form too much.. We are using the auto mode for now with just a few adjustments ..we like like pixel watch and a few more things I can't think of yet.. More now I hope.. Thanks again .. George & Penny
