My husband and I jsut bought the mini ii today and will be taking it to our trip to Hawaii next week. I'm really looking forward to seeing how the pictures turn out. We didn't get the strobe flash as we really wanted to see how well it took without it and figured we'd build it up with the strobe and wide angle lens for our next dive trip in October if all goes well. for 200.00 you can't beat the price -

Sounds great. Don't let it distract you from your safety. Newbies so often lose their first camera. You might talk to the boat skipper about how best to pass it up on reboarding. Have a great trip and don't piss off Madam Pele...! ilot:

Hello Sharkbait.

Saw that you are heading out to Hawaii with the Mini II. Just c ouple of quick points:
1) remember to stay within the focus distances outlined in the manual
2) pictures will only be as good as the amount of light that is available.

The best pictures will be in that 3 ft range with a good amount of ambient light. The strobe will always bring amazing results as it provides light to bring out the true colors.

take the time to read the manual and get comfortable with the camera on land.

Have a great trip and looking forward to seeing some pics!

Joe

I just purchased the mini II. I am heading to St. John in the Virgin Islands this week and will post pics while there.

SharkBait2, I just bought this camera as well. It seems to be an easy, small, simple and convenient way to capture some pictures for our upcoming dive trip to the Florida keys. Tried it yesterday in and out of the water and it seems very easy to use and takes good pictures. Still learning about how to use it and take advantage of all of it's features but so far I like it. There is a little bit of a lag when the flash kicks in as it recharges and prepares for the next shot but other than that I like it.

Thanks for the pics. I'm looking at a first camera, mostly for capturing the moment and not so much for winning photo contests. This camera seems to be a good price and produce a decent photo for just that purpose.

Sorry to say I did not care for this camera at all. I returned mine. I hated that I could not see out of the LCD screen like in the old days of early underwater Sealife cameras. I tried it Snorkeling as well as Scuba diving. It was very frustrating to look at cloudy/dark images in the LCD. My Olympus Stylus Tough 8010 takes better pictures in my opinion.
