I've just purchased my Sony NEX 5N and I'm loving it for topside. As I look around at different brands of housing, each company has features that are appealing. For example, 10Bar has focus and zoom controls on their port for the 18-55 but as a cold water diver I'm concerned with the tiny button controls, which has basically ruled out this housing. Nauticam's buttons are further spaced apart and has a lever style shutter that seems nice. Aquatica has the joy stick that mimics the camera itself. These are observations based only on pictures so far. I wish I could get my hands on these, physically, before I buy....but that seems near impossible.
Right now I'm using a older Canon Powershot A610 in a canon housing. I'm getting decent pics but the shutter is stiff and my pics aren't as crisp as they could be....so I'm a bit sensitive to the shutter issue. I enjoy taking macro pics but hope to take super macro eventually. A suggestion of lens combinations would be much appreciated as well....and I suspect will affect my housing choice.
Is there anywhere, a side-by-side review posted on the 'net that I can compare these housings? Maybe there is a discussion here on SB that I've missed? Or better yet, personal comments and experiences would be awesome.
