Anyone have experience with either the DSC-W7 or the P100 P150 for underwater use (in
a Sony housing of course)?

I have the P150 and the corresponding Sony housing for it. Both work
great. The P150 is a great land camera, and it works great underwater,
especially the video feature. You can use all of the functions underwater
that you can use on land, and you can switch between still, video, review,
set-up, etc. underwater.

Can I ask you how long after the P150 came out was the housing available? I'm asking
because the p200 is out but no underwater housing.

I don't know. I researched cameras at the beginning of this year, and
bought the P150 because it had the housing for it. I got the camera
early this year (February), and got the housing in April. I think the
housing was available well before the P150 was released as it also works
with the P100 and another Sony camera.

The P200 is the same as the P150, except for the larger LCD (2" vs.
1.8"). I know the houising for the P150 does not work with the P200,
even though the camera bodies are almost the same size.
