Does anyone have real world experience with one the new TG-4 underwater camera? It's the first one that can shoot RAW which should be really good for underwater shots.

I sent off my letter to the US Army Corps of Engineers expressing my opposition to the mega-marina today. The deadline is January 31st, and this will probably be the only time that the general public --us-- will be asked for our input. The folks at Save Coral Bay have helped make it pretty easy to s...
