I understand, but taking a good picture may require getting even more close. The more water there is between camera and subject, the lesser quality the picture will be.

Thanks ... that does not really help then. :-( I was planning to do a video and then if what I am filming come close enough to snap a good picture... but this way i will lose the moment... you know of any camera which allow movie + pics at the same time? It looks like the rx100 may do this
I certainly understand the situation - I've wanted that myself at times. In those cases I just use my video editing software (currently Adobe Premier Elements 13) to grab a screen shot and use that.
As the video is pretty decent resolution, the screen shot is not bad quality either. Certainly not as good as a native resolution photo from the camera, but still better than my earlier digital cameras.
[QUOTE=" An other solution might be using a tray with camera and gopro at the same time. Best of both worlds.
I put the GoPro on the hotshoe on top of G16. I don't need the LCD attached to the back of the GoPro & use the G16 LCD for viewing the object. This way I can save the GoPro battery usage. This way I can take good picture & video at the same time.
Certainly wanting video and photos is a dilemma. Worst case is when you find something like a small octo hunting on the bottom. Video? Photos? Which takes priority?
