[Sfrehe]

Hello

Just inquiring wether anyone has an opinion on this camera.
I do realise there is no connection in the available housing for an external stobe and there is a limit of 45m,SONY MPK-P9
Other concerns is the lithium batteries,life?
and the cost of ram ,its diffrent sony ram and more expensive.

Check out the following gallery, by Ellen Muller and read her guestbook. All of these photos were done without an external strobe.

I think the sony batteries are second to none. I have the DCS-S85 the P-9's big brother and the battery does me for three or four dives - but I do carry a spare as well.

The cost of RAM as you put it is only slighly more than the other medias but it does seem to be more robust.

Ellen's gallery is a good start. I have a DSC-P5 and in my opinion it is a great little camera, second to none. I've been very happy with the results w/o an extra strobe YMMV. The big advantage is it's size and that it focuses down to 4". The battery lasts about 50 minutes and is good for a couple of dives if you conserve it, ie turn the camera off between pictures. I do recommend an extra battery. Here's a slide show of New England diving, all taken with a P5.
