missing manual exposure

Good thing about that camera in comparison with Canon D20, for instance, is that TG-1 has a f as low as 2.0 while D20 has a f3.5 (if I am not mistaken) which is quick dark when you think about underwater. The setback is that you are not able to set it manually; instead the camera sets it automatically.

I went underwater with TG1 (in a swimming pool, therefore just 5 feet deep). I have shot movies and took pictures and I got very pleased with both. Very good quality ... unfortunately I cannot say anything about more deep shoots.

In general it is a very good camera to casual shoots and to play with your kids at the beach ... since you won’t bother if they drop it on the sand, in the sea or in the pool (just remember to wear a better wrist band when you are in water ... I have replaced the one coming with the camera for the wii one ... since it can be adjusted to the wrist)
