I have not bought the D10 to dive - but enjoy the good feeling the D10 to use in the rain without any concerns. Also in the snow they reflected prima - please try snow mode! Many beautiful images are created because I had to give the D10 three years in the hands not scared. I also frequently use the ISO3200 - mode. In this mode, it creates the way 1.7 frames per second (1.1 in the other modes) Worth mentioning, I find that the D10 really can operate silently - thanks to the seal. I have not tinkered a lens cap and a foil glued to the screen - at no extra camera bag so it fits easily into any of my pockets - is my take-along camera - and the ideal complement to the DSLR. They responded (thanks DIGIC4) very quickly to all commands (incl. Timer) and is significantly faster than my other Canon compacts with Digic 1.2 or 3. I also have the impression as if the image stabilizer work better than the older compact , All in all, after nearly a year use: I would buy immediately.
