Sorry, I did a forum search on "sea and sea" and "sea & sea" and "Sea and sea" by words and phrases and all I got was:
"Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms"
even though I was staring at posts with "sea and sea" in the title. Must be a kink in the search software. I manually searched page after page in this forum and read many posts.
Anyway, I'm an experienced top-side photographer, venturing into the underwater realm for the first time. For a variety of reasons (that go beyond underwater photography) I'm interested in the specs of the Sea and Sea model DX-8000G - 0.6x wide-angle lens with the YS-25 auto strobe.
QUESTION: Given that Sea and Sea is not one of the traditional camera manufacturers (e.g., Nikon, Canon, Pentax, etc.), I'm wondering about their reputation. Worthwhile or no? Technical specs are quite good. Practically, how are Sea and Sea rigs?

If you need more specific info to answer my question:
Specifically, I'm looking for a 7+ megapixel digital camera that I can use top-side in a compact point-and-shoot format with some manual controls that has a wide-angle zoom lens (28mm or better). I also need some weatherproofness or waterproofness. Finally, I want to be able to take this camera scuba diving, too. Doesn't have to be the "End All" scuba camera because I have plenty of uses for it top-side.
Most other point-and-shoots seem to have 35mm zooms which aren't wide enough for my uses top-side.
