A couple of new Sony cameras were announced yesterday that should prove to be popular UW options:
A7rII: Sony Global - Digital Imaging
RX100 IV: Sony Global - Digital Imaging
Both have internal 4K recording!
RX100 IV adds mainly much higher speed shooting options with 16fps for stills and up to 960fps slo-mo in 1080p video. One small downside to the 4K recording in this camera is a 5-min limit (presumably due to heat build-up). The RX100 IV looks like it has the same body as the III version, so the same housings should work for these two.
The A7rII seems about 99% similar to the A7II body, although it has a taller mode dial and the viewfinder has changed slightly. LOTS of upgrades on this model over the original A7r and even A7II, including IBIS, an upgraded backlit 42MP sensor, faster AF, a 1/250 flash sync, and improved shutter/e-shutter.
