A6000 Vs RX100 III or Maybe Olympus? what will be best for underwater photography?

[yaronad]

My current gear is Pansonic zs7 with the original housing and S&S ys-03 strob. this setup gave me surprising results! really!
( great for the entery lvl. )




I'm about to make my first upgrade - And I don't know what to expect.
of course that every decision will be a big step ....... but in which direction ?






I'm really excited with the Sony A6000 , the sensor , AF speed etc.
And the Price! for mirror less camera ?




The point is what should I really expect from the final results? and specifically for the underwater photography




Is the a6000 Kit 16-50 lens + a quality Diopter! will give crispy, sharp, punchy photos results?
or maybe the bigger sensore ? more pixels and noise and not so good lens .....will actually be a big disappointment ?




Maybe it is wiser to start with the Sony RX100 III ? that is more friendly?
and with much better lens ?...and yes more "point to shoot " camera concept




On the other end - should I invest on a better - not top of the line! Wide lens and go with the A6000 ?




I really want that the A6000 will be my final choice...A camera to grow with
I'm not so sure if I can make it with a reasonable lens budget ?
and if yes ? what would be the lens to start with at this stage?




Or maybe A6000 , It is not the best choise for underwater photography?
Maybe Olympus Is more suitable for that ?






Please advise





THX in advance

Yaronad,

The Sony A6000 in a Nauticam housing can produce better photos than the Sony RX-100, especially stunning wide-angle photos.

Macro shots with the 16-50mm lens will be good, and an excellent Sony 90mm macro lens will be coming out soon.

Good luck with your choices! There are quite a few other mirrorless cameras that also take great photos, although I think the A6000 has the best IQ.
