Yep, the el-cheapo Sony. I'm wishing I plunked out some cash for the filter now.

I checked the local photo shop there and I could not find a filter to fit my unit.

Good videos & pictures Chris! Good to see you had a great time. I'll have to bring back lots of the same form my Malaysia trip in April.

Great pics and video. I couldn't have done better myself..well maybe !

You will find that a wide angle lens will go a long ways too. It helps compensate for the water making everything look bigger. I found this out with my video. It looks like you about ran into the turtle but you were probably 4-5' away.

BTW, you STILL suck!

Very cool! Even without the filter they look great to me.

Thanks all! I think the fish eye wide angle lens with filter will be down the road.

The way the economy is turning, a new camera and housing will not be in the budget anytime soon......

The entire first days photos and videos were total trash, it took me a couple of days to tweak all the settings to get some half way decent shots. After all, I'm used to green water muck diving, not the blue clear water diving!
