Hi Misa,
My camera is Sony HDR-SR12, which I think is a great "tool". It records full-HD more than 40 hours using inernal hard disk, so during whole week -or two weeks- diving trip I do not need to change tapes or load anything to computer.

My housing is Amphibico EVO Elite (link). I compared many different housings, and at the end the selection was very clear. I wanted aluminium housing, which is reliable and has all the functionality I need. For example, I preferred to have built-in red filter at housing (of course it can be swithced on/off easily during dive); this gives me a choice either to use filter or to do color corrections in editor - or do both. I've been very happy with this housing.

However, hardware is just half of the story. The video editing software has also big impact to result. I'm using Sony Vegas Pro 9.0. I record always using full-HD, and after editing I compose a blu-ray disk. Of course e.g. for YouTube that resolution has to be downgraded.
