Well the good news is that I a new replacement camera. Jessops contacted me and I picked up the new one boxed and with a new lens. Cannot say fairer than that. I don't know if mine leaked or not but the issue was in the battery compartment. The condensation problem was on dry land and usually...

K9simon, did you use the grease that's supposed to protect the O ring and did you use the AW 40.5 NC Filter? I'm still not sure what the point of the filter actually is as it's description just mentions condensation... Amp I didn't use the grease as it was already greased and after i put the...

Hi all I have processed some of my pictures from the Maldives. No word yet on the camera though. The settings i used were the 'underwater ones' and i varied between scuba, closeup and shallow. I think scuba increases the vibrancy, closeup increases the contrast. All produce jpegs but I found...

I think I got more than 200 per charge but I wouldn't have a day at the beach without a second battery and then the camera has to be rinsed and bone dry before you open the battery compartment. The battery life is ok for the snorkelling session (bear in mind they advise no more than 60 ins...

Hi Lala, still getting around to sorting the pictures but I have to say initial thoughts are, very pleased with them! I will post some soon. Amp. It wasn't impossible to see the screen but was pretty difficult. Using spot focus was preferable but more difficult but i hope to show I could do...

Battery life not brilliant. Little warning of battery death. I had to have the display on high contrast and v bright to be able to see it in the water. That was the biggest issue, being able to see the screen to line up shots. Depended very much on the conditions over head oh and the snorkel...

Marvellous thanks, wonderful snorkelling and I hope to post the proof when I get home. Currently waiting for flight from Sri Lanka, I would take a photo but I can't. :bang:

Btw. I don't think the 10mm 2.8 is a must, the kit lens seemed fast enough especially in the water. I would have had one as a two lens kit when amazon first advertised. As they didn't get them in in time for my holiday I had to go elsewhere and Jessops were the first to have them available to...

I dried it out and you can see the battery contacts in the camera are corroded but the contacts on the battery itself are now no good. It may work with another battery, I have yet to try. I have contacted Jessops who will send it to a repairer to assess if its a fault. (I think it is) in which...

About to get on the Sea Plane and journey back from the Maldives having used the AW1. First thing to say is I had a leak in the battery department! The camera stopped working having told me it was overheating. I have three SD cards worth of pics to go through and will report more fully...

Amazon this morning £786.37! for the two lens kit. Says delivery in 1 to 3 months tho? :thinking:

Loved it. Sat down with the thought I will have a quick look and catch it all later. Couldn't take my eyes off it and sat through it all in the first sitting - twice!

Thanks for the replies guys. Tried to update the software but it just wont at the moment, not sure why. Just have to do it all in Photoshop at the minute. :)

Does any one have an idea why I cannot open photos taken with a D700 in Capture NX. The same CF card used in a D300 opens fine. Scratchy head! :thinking: Thanks Simon

I would do but I want to rent another body as well and lens for hire dont do em, do they?
