After a few years of excellent service I managed to flood my old Cybershot diving in the Farne Islands this weekend. RIP
Still, on the bright side I've been thinking about getting a new digital compact camera for a while so all's not lost
So, I'm wondering if anyone can help me by pointing me in the direction of a possible new camera. I made a list of the features that are important: oh, and one other which is I've got to get it together pretty damn quick though as I'm off to Malta for diving in around 10 days!
Manual white balance is essential (the reason I was going to replace the cybershot)
Usable internal flash is essential*
Wet mount lenses is important
Ease of use is important
RAW is nice
Greater than x3 optical zoom is nice
Compactness is nice
Budget isn't really an issue
* kind of puts me off the Canon G7 with the Canon housing.
As usual any advice greatly received!
