Recommended Camera gear?

[bakpakka]

I've got a Sony digital camera (DSC-S75) and would like to take it to the depths with me. But, I have not come across a housing for it. Most housings seem to be for the P series of cameras.

What do you recommend as an UW setup? Buy a new camera and housing for it? Any good sites with affordable housings?

If anyone knows a good place in Malaysia / Singapore / Thailand, that would be great!

Unlike the PS-x series of cameras that sony made a housing for, the DSC-S70,75 and 85 did not benefit from that program. The only housing I know of is the Ikelite. check their website.

Yes, I've seen it and it's wayyyy expensive. It justifies me buying a new housing AND camera too, no?

Ridiculously priced item.

Any good camera + housing combos to recommend? And at reasonable prices?

Hello -

I've been using the Canon S30 and S45s for a while now.

I haven't used any other UW cameras, so I am not a comparison expert.

Anyway, the cameras are available from 3 to 5MP and are pretty inexpensive.

The housing (WDC-300) is available for $150-200.

Pretty good unit.

I like my Olympus 5050 and PT-015 housing. Probably can be found for $650-700.

I like the Olympus camera with the Olympus underwater housing. The Olympus is a great camera for low light digital photography, and they are easy to find on ebay. Good Luck
