Good morning everyone I am considering some used kits based on Sony RX100 V/VA and Nauticam housing . I found a couple where the only difference is the wide lens. I was wondering if anyone has direct experience and could give me some feedback on the performance/ issues of these two lenses...

I check the specs and you are right, the VA better fit what I have in mind

This is all very nice and I understand the convenience of an easy dive. However, we are talking about a 3K€ Housing with the size of a Nauticam housing for a Full Frame. I look for a used compact camera with a used housing instead. Budget and size on a whole other level.

Yes I guess you are right, it is difficult to average. If anyone experienced in the field can help me out with an evaluation, please write to me privately. Thank you

I have tried, but it is not easy. One would have to check each ad to see how long the material for sale has been in use. I will guess an average depreciation percentage, tell me if you think it would make sense : -30% for items with one year of life and in good/very good condition. Would you...

Good morning everyone, I currently have my eyes open looking for my first underwater photography kit and am evaluating used equipment. Scrolling through the various ads, I was also checking at the same time the prices of the same equipment but new, so as to understand the savings. At this...

Update : wandering on line I came across a girl with the Sony RX100 VII who takes exactly the pictures I would like to take. Accompanied by a Wet lens Nauticam and sea&sea strobes. What can I say, after seeing her photos I am more and more convinced that the RX100 VII may be right for me. I...

My idea about micro 4:3s came from Internet, so I may have misunderstood certain concepts or not given them the proper weight. Investing in a compact to begin with has in my opinion the advantage of gaining confidence and experience with photography in general (I have very little of it and...

It is true that I don't plan to take this camera on an airplane, mainly because I don't make overseas diving trips usually. It could happen of course, but those are not the dives I usually do. However, the fact of having something extremely bulky might need more careful handling. I imagine for...

Thanks! The wreck was the SS VIS I take this opportunity because I believe that the images of the wreck you find at that link were taken with a Sony A6xxx in natural light (I know who took them and at that time I think he had that camera). Excuse my repetitiveness, I wonder if those same...

Thanks for this comment, very useful and interesting.

Very clear, thank you. Speaking instead of light and shadow recovery in post, in your opinion is there much difference between a file generated from a compact and one from an APSC?

The fact that Backscatter is somehow the only one to push the E-M10 so much gave me some doubts and I came to the same conclusions. Maybe we leave out the used cameras and just talk about the new ones. The question I ask myself as an electronics and technology enthusiast in general is whether...

It could be interesting, but I love editing too much :D

Thank you! I will take my time to look at them

Thank you Wolfgang. What you told me was one of the scenarios I considered, which is to start from a compact, and once I practice and better understand what I need, then I will think about investing in a more focused way, maybe with a bigger budget. Maybe investing a bit more in quality strobes...

Thank you for your feedback. So you wouldn't really consider compacts. I'll try to give an example to see what the performance of a compact and an APSC might be. Let's imagine a wreck in the sea at a depth of 60 meters, with decent visibility, but that is certainly not that of a tropical sea...

I find your considerations certainly fair for your use. My case, however, is different from yours, and I fear the choice of sensor may have greater relevance. I am not a diver who does 3-4 dives a day for a week in tropical areas overseas. I'm more of a lake and deep wreck diver in places I can...

Good morning everyone I should buy my first underwater photography kit and I am very undecided about the camera, or rather the size of the sensor. I hope someone with more experience can advise me even though I wrote a poem below! A few premises that I feel it is essential to list : -...
