I think this would be better in the UW Photography area as more people will see it and be able to point you in the right direction.

I, too, would recommend the A series by Canon. Great cameras.

You can have a look through the Sticky for the UW Photo area as there are quite a few models with discussions and sample photos listed and it should help you get started. You can also get there via the Pink Link in my signature.

If you would like this moved, please let me know and I'll do it for you.
