Have the quattro for years, great OH fin with booties. But I tried the power, and they actually felt a bit stiffer. The booties cushion took some of the stiffness away with the oh model. For a ff fin the superchannel is more comfortable. It flex a bit more, as it is less taxing on the foot...

The new camera are rater for 40ft, but they do not like to be down that deep for long. If you plan on diving a camera. Get a housing and camera instead. I know someone that flooded a ts on a 30min dive.

That is not bad either for a casual dive camera. A bit more then the intova, but still not to bad.

Then the d7000 will work out just fine without the sport photography aspect. It is not that great for that kind of photography with the tiny buffer that only let you take about 2.5 sec burst of 14-16 photos before it slows down to 1fps.

Are you going to be shooting sport?

There is always the VF2 you can add, which is a excellent EVF. 100% view, with a large picture.

The e520 is 3 gen behind the current m4/3 camera. The epl-2 has a better preformance. epl-2 shoots well up to 1600 vs 800 on the e520. And the epl-2 is a smaller package. What the e-520 does better is for action shots. As it gives you better ability track action with the OVF vs a EVF that...

Yeah, I had call olympus about their tough. And if the case has a complete flood, it still would not survive at 40ft. but a minor leak it might. And you are not going to coming up fast enough with safety stops to save the camera form depth. But that will make the system 600 dollars. 300 for...

Yes if it floods all camera are toast. I have an older intova The IC6 and the case is really nice with double rings. I have it for diving only, and a topside camera. Since UW photography is not my big thing, and I really only go for snap shots. It works fine for my needs. The top side is...

if you are looking for simple as you do not dive that often and wants some snap shots. look at an intova. Well under your top budget. And if it flood, you do not loose the camera for your whole trip by having a dive and topside camera. IC12 Intova IC12 12.0MP Underwater Digital Camera, 3x...

Willkommen in Scubaboard, the water is cold in germany, hope you have a dry suite and a 7mm wetsuit.

well with the lens thing, 2 lens setup does give better image quality then 1 lens with a wide range. So there is a trade off. If you were to go with a 1 lens option the tamron 18-270 VC PZ would be one of the better options. Then the sigma 18-250 OS HSM. Just based on what your have mention...

I would really get a camera that will fit the top side uses first. Then find the parts needed for underwater. There housing out there for pretty much all the models. But since it will be used more then topside then underwater, I would give the priority to topside photography. Unless you are...

the 55-200 is avg, not that great, the 70-300 is a much better top side zoom.

Okay, what do you like to shoot above water? It will help determine if the d7000 is worth the extra cost.

nope, it only takes AF-s and motor lenses. If you need it to use non motor lenses you will need to go with the d7000

Cads.

The new d5100 was just announced you might want to take a look at that. It uses the same sony 16mp sensor as the d7000. It also has the HD auto focus. And it is a smaller package, if that is something you want to consider.

the epl-1 will give you way more control over dof. Also with the larger sensor it will give you way better image quality. The tweaks olympus made to the epl-1 lets it shoot well upto 2000iso. And it is the same 4/3 senor in the olympus dslr. So you are getting dslr image quality. If you get...
