Point and shoot with HD video

[k374]

What are the UW camera options for a point and shoot with the following features:

1080p video
Full manual control or at the very least A & T priority modes
OEM underwater housing availability

Nice to have: RAW support

Right now my search is resulting in 0 matches

The G9 fits most of this. The HD video is only 15fps though.....

The G9 is limited to 1024x768 resolution at 15 fps. The OP asked for 1080p video.

FUJIFILM Finepix HS10 shoots 1080
SONY Cyber-shot DSC-TX7 shoots 1080i

Those are the only P/S cameras I can find that shoot 1080 video.

Canon Powershot SX1 IS

-RAW
-full manual control
-20xoptical zoom (useless underwater but great for surface wildlife photography)
-FULL HD 1080p video mode
-IKELITE housing avalible but worth $800...

I have this camera and a G9 too, if something ever happens to the G9, then the SX1 IS will becomemy default U/W camera.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

thanks, but that housing is way out of my budget... I think I will settle for the 720p video and look at some others, thanks a lot!!
