Alright, I've spent counteless hours reading postings, reviews, and playing with cameras in the store. Here's what I have come up with:
Canons (A95, S70, S500) nice quality, but can't get passed the slow focusing. I actually owned a G5 and returned it for the Sony DSC-F828 just for that reason. They do seem to have a lot of underwater accessories available.
Fuji 810- Hard to find, and reports are mixed about poor battery life.
My choices: Sony DSC-W5 or DSC-P200, because they are super fast, excellent battery life, and large LCD's. I would probably lean toward the W5 since it uses "normal" batteries. I also like the small size to use the camera out of the water when I don't feel like bringing the DSC-F828 with me.
My dilemma: It doesn't look like a case is availabe for the P200, and I am having trouble finding out if there is a strobe that will work as well as a wide-angle lens (one thing the Canon has an advantage on).
Any suggestions on strobes and lenses that would work with the Sony DSC-W5 or P200?
