Hello All!
Im planning to replace my camera in the near future and would like to get some opinions.
Given what Ive seen from other divers, Olympus looks like the way to go. Picture quality is very high and cameras seem to be more cost effective. Hence my question:
I would like to choose between 5050, 5060, and 8080. For the time being, I would take the money factor out of the equation. Bottom line is I would be willing to fork out some extra cash for 8080, should the difference be warranted.
I realize 5050 has the best aperture range has anyone had any experience with comparing these three models in the low light environment?
Would anyone choose Ikelite housing over the Olympus housing? One thing I have to consider is an Ikelite Video like which I already have. It would be my preference to continue using it with the new setup, and I may have to buy additional accessories to get it to work. Again for the time being, please ignore the fact that Ikelite housing is more expensive than Olympus. If the difference is justifiable I dont mind spending the money.
Any general comments as far as these 3 cameras go? Ability to focus underwater? Picture Quality? Battery Life? Performance in low light situations?
Your opinions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
