Thanks for the impressions. I just got one for travel and water sports. I also have a dream of using it in wifi mode for slightly underwater shots where I don't want to get wet. One example: shooting spawning salmon (without disturbing them.)

The salesman thought wifi wouldn't work under water — but I've tested it to 1 foot of depth so far.

I don't like how it goes to sleep and loses the wifi signal. Got to keep at it to keep it awake… and there's no control over the sleep time. No RAW, either, which would help with tough exposures — but I knew that before I bought it.

Flash: I tried the remote control setting today with my FL-50 and I was very pleased with it. The onboard flash is weak — but the option of the FL-50 is great.

More testing to do!
