    Steel vs aluminum in cold water ?

    Question about Canon Cameras Underwater

    IS is worthless in the U/W it does not work at least that is my experience with it. I think one thing that makes a huge difference a Manual mode on your camera. which all three have. the 570 has Digi 3 processor which should make it faster than the other two at auto focusing and should have a...
