Aquapix by Sea and Sea

[diverdeb001]

I read about this camera on the Sea and Sea web site. It is supposed to be released at DEMA. It looks good. Anyone heard any discussion about it yet??? db

It looks like an excellent camera. Here's a brief review I found:

Thanks for the info ron. I think it looks pretty good. It was going to cost me about $500 just to get an Ikelie housing for my other camera so this looks like a better idea. db

Hi

I just opened a new thread about the Aquapix... Did you finally buy it ?

An Ikelite housing may cost $500 but at least you can stuff in a 4 or 5 megapixel camera. I which Sea & Sea would have gone for more pixels. You can use the Aquapix above water but I don't think there's a zoom lens.

In short, I think their biggest customer for this camera will be dive operators presently renting MX10 cameras.

At first glance I thought this would be a good step up from my MX 10 rig. After looking at the website, it sounds like the telephoto switch is actually a digital zoom and I don't know what the wide angle button is for since this camera is supposed to be able to use the MX 10 20mm lens. I will probably get an Oly and a housing instead....

I have ordered one but I guess they won't be available here until late december or even January. Are they available in the US yet???deb
