Hey guys, I am thinking of buying an underwater camera. My ex gf use to have the cannon proshot d30, and it worked pretty well. A lot of the pics I posted in the past were with that camera under my t5 lights. I am thinking of getting the Fujifilm finepix xp90, anyone have any experience with it, or anyone have more knowledge on what would be important/matter for such a camera? Links to both below.

Reviews say it all, usually.

I haven't tried those but have had a couple different versions of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS line. Still use it my 5-year old TS4 for stuff once in a while, although I'm more into "dslr" (actually sony mirror-less) stuff now. I find the new wifi enabled features to be really handy for sharing pictures.

for me, the reason I am looking into this, is that the cannon was pretty much point and shot, I didn't have to photoshop or anything. which I have no clue how to do.

You should look at the Olympus TG 4, considering one myself for a dive trip next September....

What are you going to use it for?

I bought a olympus epm1 with waterproof housing for $400 that I use a lot for diving.

Here are some pics i took tonight, got the Canon d20 for 80 bucks on ebay. Never really messed with settings, so starting to explore the options. These are taken under t5, some blue plus and actinic, other blue plus and purple plus, and some all together.
