Going to Meeru in only 1 week and have decided at the last minute I must have a waterproof camera after not having one last year. Ordered the GE G3WP from Argos at £115. Struggled to find any reviews on this so if anyone has any words of congratulation or condemnation then please speak now or forever hold your peace. I'll let you know if its any good on our return. _________________   Posted: Tue Mar 22, 2011 10:07 am RobandClaire Joined: 01 Jan 2011 Posts: 50 Not sure on that camera, but we go in 1 week too We bought the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FT2 Digital Camera, seemed to get decent reviews but time will tell.. _________________ [url=http://www.TickerFactory.com/] [/url]   Posted: Tue Mar 22, 2011 12:06 pm sallyandpaul Joined: 02 Oct 2008 Posts: 873 Location: Hereford Hi dave, we have the canon powershot d10.

The budget was to spend as little as possible on the best camera. Not made of money like you lot.......need to save a little so I can begin my Sarong collection. _________________   Posted: Tue Mar 22, 2011 4:06 pm Shazo1 Joined: 11 Jun 2009 Posts: 457 Location: Willenhall sallyandpaul wrote: Hi dave, we have the canon powershot d10.

Sallyandpaul xx Yes Dave - we have the same camera as Sally & Paul and can only comment as I find, smashing little camera. As for working to a Budget, you should be mega bucks in, now you were only able to bag a Garden Room So dig a little deeper Scrooge. See ya in 7 days X _________________   Posted: Tue Mar 22, 2011 4:23 pm DavidAllan Joined: 23 Feb 2011 Posts: 38 Location: behind you in a mankini Those sarongs are 20 to 30 dollars each you know _________________   Posted: Tue Mar 22, 2011 4:49 pm Shazo1 Joined: 11 Jun 2009 Posts: 457 Location: Willenhall DavidAllan wrote: Those sarongs are 20 to 30 dollars each you know $30 is only £21 at most - and you can only wear 1 per day so thats only a cost of £290 overall - just Invest in a good Camera _________________   Posted: Tue Mar 22, 2011 5:02 pm DavidAllan Joined: 23 Feb 2011 Posts: 38 Location: behind you in a mankini Are you having the photographer at your wedding? _________________   Posted: Tue Mar 22, 2011 8:24 pm Shazo1 Joined: 11 Jun 2009 Posts: 457 Location: Willenhall Yes we are, are you, and I may yet have a Romantic Beach Dinner, not quite made my mind up yet. _________________   Posted: Tue Mar 22, 2011 9:25 pm DavidAllan Joined: 23 Feb 2011 Posts: 38 Location: behind you in a mankini Yes we've booked photographer.

See You soon x _________________ Camera Review   Posted: Sat Apr 23, 2011 8:16 pm DavidAllan Joined: 23 Feb 2011 Posts: 38 Location: behind you in a mankini Hi all. Back now and have extensively tested the camera. So for £100 ish, you get a great little camera, with full underwater capability and 720hd video capabilty in and out of water, in AVI format. As I'm no professional (not at photography anyway), I normally always do a bit of tweaking to arrive at the finished photo. A bit like they do with the photos of those women Gok keeps saying look good naked. I've put a few photos below. This was a last minute purchase so we could at least get a few underwater photos and it was just the ticket. There is really no point in going to Meeru where there is so much going on under the water without having the capability to record this in some way. With this camera you have no reason not to. I dont believe this is the one and only camera you should own if you have any sort of passion for photography, but it packs a good punch for its price. It's also a very nice, handy, slimline and lightweight number which you could slip inside your pocket. As I mentioned it also does video and there is an example of the video capabilities if you follow this link. All the footage was taken with the camera around Meeru itself. http://youtu.be/BYnthjivW_8 David _________________ GE G3WP 12MP On order     Meeru Island Resort Forum Index » Photography You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum All times are GMT   Page 1 of 1   All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First  Select a forum Meeru Island Resort----------------AnnouncementsGeneral Meeru DiscussionTrip ReportsTrip Reports from anywhere else in the world!Diving and SnorkellingPhotographyFAQLinksSay Hello!"The Lounge"   Powered by phpBB© 2001-2004 phpBB Group Designed by Vjacheslav Trushkin
