This thread has been active 3 months. Technology changes so fast in this game... So does the "best" camera du jour.
I am waiting for the Nikon D200 out now, and Ikelite housing out in February. I'm very happy with the D70 for land shots, and have many Nikon lenses, so this is a no-brainer for me. The macro lenses are astounding, and the 12-24 zoom sounds like a great one for general UW.
I've been happy with the Olympus point and shoot cameras, but they seem to have dropped high end development with the 7070, so I am wary of making further investments in that line. I think they have been overwhelmed by Nikon and Canon in the DSLR game. Time will tell, but for now Nikon and Canon DSLRs are much safer bets.

...I am very impressed with the technology, the possibilities and the quality...just isn't as easy to walk around with baby size camera as it was with a cigarette box size camera
