Thats one I havent seen. Dont know about these all-in-one waterproof point n shoots, but most amateur set ups that can use filters need an adapter ring that cannot be accomodated within an underwater housing. Easy enough to get great results on color correction with even the most basic photo software, often via just the auto correct feature, or using "warmify" edit feature of Picasa software that is a free download from Google. Re use of forced flash, I found that sometimes it will illuminate unseen particles that may be floating within the framed shot, compromising results. Enjoy the site guys, especially the recent use of the word "roiled" in a headline. Good morning

I have all the fancy cameras for land, but for snorkeling, I have the Pentax. It is great for snorkeling with out having to worry about bulky equipment. You will get blue tones in under water photography, but it is easily corrected with most photo editing software. Just add a little red tones to correct.
