I would like to upgrade my camera and want something offering:
More compact than traditional DSLR & housing
Good live view
Ability to shoot wide angle and macro/fish portraits on a single dive
Low shutter lag and fast autofocus to cut down on my collection of fish butt photos
Max depth 130 ft
Contenders are:
1. Canon S90 in Fix housing with Fix 2 element flip lenses and a Inon ufl165
2. Panasonic GF1 in a 10bar housing, probably with 14-45 lens or ????
3. Oly E-PL1 with a 9-18mm lens (which may not work for macro?)
4. None of the above, stay with Canon G10 and OEM housing and see what turns up over the next year.
[FONT="]I am trying to weigh the benefits/downsides of each option. My G10 isn't bad, but I would like to have a wider angle and I wonder if focus speed and shutter lag can't be improved a bit.
