I'm very excited this morning as my Canon Powershot D10 arrived sooner than expected.

I had commandeered one of my kid's Nikon Coolpix awhile ago and, at some point last summer, the camera took a very brief and shallow plunge into the Farmy and that was enough to kill it for good. Like most purchases I make in this Internet age, I researched water-proof cameras almost to the point of taking the fun out of the purchase. Each camera out there seems to have its pros and cons and I decided that the D10 fit the bill for me. I'm going to have some fun with this camera over the next couple months and will provide a full review in the future.
I purchased the camera from Abe's of Maine and can say they were very knowledgeable, not pushy and the overall experience of buying the camera was great. In case you start looking for them in Maine, Abe's is actually located in Edison, NJ.
Dude, now you're moving into my territory!
ReplyDeleteAt least it's a Canon!
didn't know you took underwater photos...
ReplyDeleteI'm anxious to see some the underwater photos.
ReplyDeleteThat may be my next purchase.
I'll let you know Alan. Tomorrow looks like it might be a nice one so I may have to field test the D10 for a bit.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to your experience with the camera. While I am a dedicated Canon snob, I couldn't get past its looks. It's too ....... Something.
ReplyDeleteSteve,
Deletelol - bulbous was the first word that I thought of when I saw it out of the box...it's actually not that bad...appears pretty solid and well constructed, nice job with the gaskets around the battery / card door...we'll see how it does on the water.
Steve

ReplyDeleteThanks Dan, I hope to have some posted soon but I haven't dunked it yet.
