I've been pretty happy with this unit for basic videos on snorkel and dive trips, have even used the built in forced flash for under rock type shots.
1) Problem I've seen in video mode (no strobe or light) whether underwater or out of the case on dry land...anytime there is a distance shot including a lot of sky or water the video appears pixilated and with wavy gradations of blue not what I'd consider high def
2) I've used the video light but find it a hassle to switch from blue water dive mode to recommended white balance cloudy mode, also the light seems to only apply well to 1 foot distances or less, a far cry from the manual ranges. Any solutions. Is the strobe attachment worth it for still pics? Do you have the same issue switching settings between strobe use and video other than the mode selection?
