Hi all,
Christmas is coming and I am going to receive a new camera to replace my Sealife DC500, I was going to upgrade to the DC800, but now I have also been considering the Canon Ixus 870ISor the 980IS in an Ikelite housing, the 870 has a 4x optical zoom, 3" screen and 10mp, the 9809 has 3.7x optical zoom, 2.5" screen and 14.7mp but does have manual option and an optical viewfinder, can anyone recommend a particular choice for me? I am a snorkeller, not a diver and video quality is important as well as good shots. I have to say that the Sealife has served me well but example photos I have seen taken with the DC800 have not impressed me a great deal. Please help.
Many thanks,
Chris
