digital land camera in U/W housing

[Les]

is there any difference in replacing an underwater specific camera to a land camera inside my housing?
reason I ask: is I have flooded my housing and wondering about what pics will turn out like if I find a land camera to fit my housing.

Almost everyone uses a "land" camera in a dedicated underwater housing And the ones that area "underwater" cameras are usually normal land cameras inside a housing anyway!

Go for it if you can find one to fit.

thanks alcina. will keep my eyes open. just thought I had read somewhere that land cameras did not have the same focus capabilities and different shutter lag from u/w.
thanks again,
Les

There are some newer digital cameras that offer an UW mode. Ya might want to check for that while you're shopping
