Sony W290 or Canon SX200 IS

[Blackrock]

Anyone used either of these underwater? Any thoughts or samples you could post?

I was looking for a camera that has the best of both worlds --good stills and 720p video.

Or how about the Panasonic TZ5? Thanks

I'd steer clear of Sony, any model. They're often cute pieces of kit, but once they break forget about fixing them. Get Canon - that company REALLY stands by its products. Google "POTN".

Thanks for that resource. Appreciated.

Still haven't found any underwater samples of either camera. I am leaning towards the Canon SX200 but the Ikelite housing cuts part of the flash off in the picture. Sounds like bad design but would like to see examples before I judge it too harshly.

Still looking for underwater samples of W290 or SX200.


Thanks
