Please give advice on which camera I need

[Tank601]

I want mainly video - stills would be nice but video is my main purpose - underwater to 130ft. A lot of people use the go pro that I dive with but I was wanting to get the most bang for my buck! Seen the Asako EK7000, not sure?? Should I get a budget cam like that or just suck it up and buy a black hero 7? Thanks in advance

Buy cheap, get cheap. Expect it to flood. Expect a crummy UI. Expect lack of accessories that fit. Expect to be unhappy with it.
Better than the GoPro, however, is the ParaLens. The older model will be available at a good price....

Thanks - what are the older models?

Go with the Hero 8 Black with a camera tray, and preferably video lights.

I’ve been very happy with my Olympus TG5. It takes great ‘point &shoot’ pics and I’ve been experimenting with the more intricate settings with impressive results. The video quality is excellent. It’s waterproof to 10m (I think) but I have a housing and always, always use it.
Check out some reviews online.
