Anybody using Canon PowerShot A70. Thoughts, experiences...

[DaFinn]

So,

I've been looking at digital cameras, and pretty much decided to get the A70. I would still like to get insight from people who actually own or have used the above camera. Good things, bad things... Just convince me one way or the other.

It says it's waterproof up to 40 meters, anybody taken any underwater shots with it???

Also, if you have good shots taken with A70 let's see em!


Thanks!

While I'm sure someone with a brand-new A70 will post in this thread eventually, you can start by getting immediate answers here.

I found these amateur A70 PICs while browsing that forum.

Heh,

Didn't really pay any further attention to that detail... just thought it's a cool feature. Tech specs didn't mention you need a case for that...

Thanks for pointing that out! :beer:

I'm glad that he pointed out that you need the waterproof kit, slight minor detail there
