Any suggestions for a good recreational digital underwater camera? We had
several of the old SeaLife all of which leaked (we went thru 4) before we
finally gave up and returned it. How about the current generation? Or the
Sea and Sea?
Thanks, Ginny

I like my Sony. Other's like their Canons. If you still have the
flash cards from your SeaLifes, go with Canon. Sony uses memory
sticks.

If we don't succeed, we run the risk of failure.

Worked as a photo pro on a liveaboard. For the money I would go for
Olympus. I've seen more Sonys flood than any other camera. Try to look
for a camera that will let you manually adjust the white balance. I
would skip the Sea & Sea, they use a Ricoh camera inside and the image
quality just isn't up to scratch.
hope that helps

I'm waiting for the Canon SD700 which should be available this month, based on
reviews I've read of the SD450, which has no shutter lag and works well underwater.
The 700 should be better in low light and has an image stabilizer. Canon has
underwater housings for both cameras.
