Sony DSCP100. 5mp, Zeiss lens, batteries last a long time (4 dives for me or more on a single charge).divebrasil:Hi Guys,
I read a lot here great things about the Canon S80 and the Oly SP-350 cameras to be used with housing for UW photography. I just think it's completely unecessary for me to buy a 8 MP camera. I would be satisfied with a 5mp. The print size difference is minimal.
I think I could probably buy a cheaper camera if it's a 5mp, instead of 6, 7 or 8mp.
Do you guys have any suggestions of 5mp cameras that would be in the same level of the S80 and SP-350 in terms of quality and functionality (including manual controls, etc..) ???
I do own a sony DSC-V1 which is a great land camera, but the housing is like U$500. I think it's better if I just get a new camera and housing. What do you think?
I appreciate your input.
Thanks
Unfortunately Sony no longer makes it or it's updated version, the 150.
However you can pick up it along with the housing MPK-PHB on ebay for probably ~ $400 total.
