Hi,
I have decided to buy a new digital camera and housing (in Japan where I'm going tomorrow) and have decided to go compact. I can't afford strobes,lenses etc so I'm just looking for a good little camera that I can put in my BC pocket and take some shots from time to time while diving. I have narrowed down to 2 options, and I need help deciding which one to go for.
1. Sony P10 - looks like it has a great video function, but are the optics up to scratch? Has great price in Japan right now ($340)
2. Canon S400/IXUS 400 - Generally looks very nice, but it has 1 MP less, video is not as good and is a bit more expensive in Japan.
Which is better for underwater? The Sony Housing looks great! and comes with extra O-Ring.
What Say you???
Thanks a million for your replies,
Doron
