It’s been my experience that the point and shoot cameras designed to be underwater specific cameras from both Sealife and Sea & Sea are inferior to the P&S cameras from the likes of Fuji, Nikon and Canon at the same price points after considering the additional cost of a housing.


This is particularly true of the Fuji F series which are feature rich budget priced advanced P&S cameras and since Fuji makes quality housings at a reasonable cost.


Careful shopping will generally allow you to put together a package with features equal or better to the above mentioned with superior performance. This while saving a few dollars that can generally be put to good use purchasing accessories like strobes, filters, and wet conversions lenses that will further expand the outfits capabilities and usefulness.


Instead of shopping your LDS for a camera outfits switch to camera stores and online camera stores. Adorama is owned by the same people that own LeisurePro and their selection of underwater photogear runs from novice to advanced DSLR another online source BHphotovideo.com which is B&H Photo of New York.
