Just got my new Sony housing.It is really well made and the double seal clinched the deal for me. I also like the idea for keeping the housing if I upgrade to V model. The port lens is not ordinary glass and is coated lens which makes it nice and they do include the lens cap to protect it. I...

Yes Sony RX100 Mk 3 or 4 in Fantasea housing would be similar price. I wonder what would be the better option. Sony RX 100 3 or the canon GX7 ll

I flooded my original camera and got a same new one. This is the same model but seems to be quicker and much better. I dont know if I was controlling it wrong or was there some setting to to cause it to take that long. But certainly now I am satisfied with the shutter.

For macro you can of course use it instead of a strobe. Difference between strobe and video light is the power and at close distances this light can be powerful enough. Strobes are about 10 to 20 times more powerful and you can use smaller aperture for greater depth of field. But remember the...

Yes I know that it focuses and gets the exposure on half press of the shutter. But then it takes a while to shoot. OK may not be 2 seconds but about 1 sec.

Though RX100 ll is a good camera, I am annoyed by the shutter lag on this camera. The pre flash is the annoying part and happens even in the manual mode. I have tried to find if we can switch off the pre flash sequence in any mode but there is no guidance on that. It does take 1-2 seconds...

I find myself in the same boat. I flooded my camera (Sony RX100 Mark ii) on the first dive in Mexico in January. the camera is ruined although it was very small amount of water which came in, but I perhaps detected it too late. So I have gone back to the drawing board so to speak and was...

Thanks that explains a lot. I am going to try put a flat glass filter in front of the dry diopter lens to trap the air and experiment with it and see. Then it should work as a magnifier.

I have a question on the subject of wet Diopter lenses. Why is wet diopter so much more expensive ($100+) than the ordinary use (dry) diopter ($!5+) of similar diameter? I have a housing with a thread of 67mm on front and I used my ordinary (dry) diopter lens of +8 on it underwater in a swimming...

Well finally I got one with a 2000 lumen light. I like the flexibility you get as you can change the video light to 4000 lum or even 1000 fill in light. But the strobe is very powerful with the GN of 32 which is as powerful as it can get. I like the battery pack as well as it lasts more and...

Has anyone used the i-dive Symbiosis SS-2 ? How does it perform as far as the battery life and power is concerned? Same battery for the strobe and the light would have limitations. I was planning to get a Sea &Sea D2 strobe and a video light separate but the sales person convinced me that...
