Well, the time has come...after 2 years of frequent diving with my Canon S90 set up (and getting a lot of it!), I am ready to upgrade! Instead of jumping to a dSLR, I am really interested in the mirrorless compact systems.
First let me say, I adore the compactness of my s90 gear, but I do find the picture quality, lack of moveable focus points, and slower focus speed (compared to a dSLR) a drawback. I do enjoy shooting both WA and macro so ideally I'd like to move to a system that can also shoot both UWA and macro, assuming I have the right lenses and ports of course and address the other needs.
I've narrowed it down to the Olympus e-pl3, Panasonic gf2 or Sony nex-5n. If anyone experience with one or more of these for UW, would love to hear your thoughts.
It's a big decision and I don't want to make an expensive mistake! :blinking:
