ADVICE: Does anyone have U/W experience with a Sony 100 VI??

[AllanHarr]

I'm considering an camera upgrade to a Sony RX100-VII. My Canon G-16 is getting pretty tired... any opinions out there???

I just returned from Moorea' snorkeling with humpback whales. I used my Sony RX100 VII in a Fantasea housing and a friend's Inon UWL-H100 wet lens.

I only got the RX100 VII this summer but also used it on a 2 and 1/2 week safari trip in August.

Lots of menus and features to learn with this Sony but overall the AF (autofocus) and Zeiss lens delivered nice results

Also, as mentioned in Africa I traveled very light compared to my friends who hauled big interchangeable lens cameras and huge lenses.

I didn't think I gave up anything in image quality

For land shooting I did buy a Small Rig grip with nicely finished wooden handle. See the last pictures for how small the camera is.

The grip helped me shoot the RX100 VII like a larger camera still allowing easy access to the bottom for memory card and battery changes.

It was wonderful to travel so light and make pictures I was happy with

I'll continue to do the same underwater!

What's the wooden handle?

For Wibble, here is the Small Rig brand handle bracket I used for surface shooting with my Sony RX100 VII on safari.

An updated version of a humpback whale last month around Moorea' French Polynesia.

It was so incredible I'm going back next October 2022!
