I too have the DC600 Elite package, and altho I have only used it on 5 dives, I have nothing but praise for my set up. However, since I am so new at both diving and underwater photography, my opinion can’t amount for too much on the subject. In addition, I am still learning how to use my camera. All that having been said, I still like my DC600 Elite set. Wish I had a recomendation for you, I just thought I would put my perverbial 2 cents in on the subject.

Hello I have been using the DC600 for about a year. I did have some problems as well but figured them out. I have taken about 1,000 picts on 2 trips of mine and several hundred in the cold waters at home. I love it for the money. you need extra batteries. extra seals and to be very clean. the company is pretty great for support as well.also the setting in the owners manual for the flash settings is WRONG. On the web sight it tells the right one. Pictures will wash out if not set right. I have seen and herd great things about the Sea and Sea DX 1-G a fantastic camera. The problem is when you add all the options together that you really want the cost is 2500-3000. If I was to spend that kind of money I would rather get the New Nikon 300. that’s the best you can get in my opinion Good luck steve

I’m not a "geek" in the area of cameras, but, I bought a Sony Cybershot DSCW-80 and then bought the housing for it (found it for $140.00) from ?? I forget - found it through NexTag.com, though. It takes great stills and video, too. It’s HD capable and I never have any issues with it. My brother-in-law has the DC600 and has had nothing but problems with the batteries in it.

I use a Canon G9 with Canon UW housing and Sea and Sea YS-110 strobe package. I also use Nikonos V with Nikonos SB105 strobe package. I have never had a battery problem with either camera although I have been on dives where everyone elses battery went dead but mine.
