the thing is, i will take it to 60 meter (if thats the max range). Even deeper if possible with the housing. It has to work the same on 60 meter then on 5 meter, straight out of the box. I want to use the camera for Uw life (macro + wide angle) but also for deep wrecks, caves and on dry land. If i book an expensive trip i want the camera to just work. I had 0 failures with my fantasea housing up till now, it worked on 55 meter just like it did on 5 meter. It has really seen some deep dives without a problem. I want the same quality with my new camera.
I noticed that the Omd e1 miii and mii are not that far away in price (especially if you consider the price of the whole set). But the housing will probably be expensive when it hits the market. Still don't know wich model to get, but i still have some time to think about it.
So a kit lens with a wet lens is a no go for good quality? I would like a wide angle lens for wreck/cave. And a "normal" lens and macro lens for UW life shots (For reef dives). But i don't have to buy all of it at once, i also still got my old set. I want to focus on UW life/reef first, so a kit/normal range lens and a macro lens.
Nice shots
I hope i can make pic's like that too when i get more experienced.
Some shots with my G9xii compact (i started Uw photography almost a year ago, so still a beginner).
You can see that the higher iso (2000) is taking it's toll in the cave pic. It's only shot with 1 video torch, the other one died earlier in the dive.

I am yet to take an image where the housing has held me back more than conditions and skill level. I happy that you have gear that you are happy with. A couple of screen grabs from my phone, no award winners but for a cheap plastic box not so bad.
