    Silica bags for PT-058

    The purpose of using a silica pack is only to absorb the small amount of moisture within the housing. If the camera is not fully dry from previous cleaning/washing, moisture between buttons and body can create a lot of fogging. (During free diving in shallow waters I use my TG6 without...

    Housing for my Nikon D850, is Ikelite a good choice?

    Thank you every one for your answers. You help me a lot to make a decision. I thing I will stick to Ikelite. The basic advantage is the fact there is a local "representative"' here and I can order everything by them. They have good service and I am very happy with the rest of my diving...

    Housing for my Nikon D850, is Ikelite a good choice?

    Hello people, I own the Nikon D850 and intent to buy the Ikelite housing for it. Are there any negatives/disadvantages compared to other usually more expensive housings? It is the first time that I consider to carry a DSLR underwater. So far I used to use compacts with cheap housings...

    xD vs Compact Flash

    I use both on my C8080 at a size of 1Gb. Basically CF is widely used while xD is used only by Oly and Fuji. As far as speed is conserned, both perform the same (at least to my eyes). I heard from a photographer that the xD is more fragile, hence less reliable than the CF. He said that many...

    Olympus 5050 vs 5060 vs 8080

    No, I haven't tied that but I beleive it is not a defect. It is the fact that is called a High end but noise is more than in the c4000zoom model. This is true for any equivalent ISO setting. Also autofocus is slower and I thing not always as accurate as with the c4000.

    Olympus 5050 vs 5060 vs 8080

    Hi people, I do own a C8080wz camera and a housing (the olympus one). I do not recomend this camera for any occasion. The noise is to much and pictures are not as sharp as my older's C4000zoom. I always use the top quality to take pictures but I am very unsatisfied with the results. In...
