Just reporting in, for curiosity, how many are still shooting their S90 rigs, quite popular for a little while? True enough that had I bought a camera a couple of years later I would have gone with the Sony RX100 and yes my eyes cast about at the new crop of mirrorless rigs. But, the thing is, my S90 still shoots good pics and aside from the somewhat slow, sometimes, autofocus, I have no particular complaints.
I had two camera bodies, unfortunately one met an untimely death after being dropped hard. But, I was able to acquire a new S90 still in the box . So, I still have two cameras, four wide angle lenses to play with a a few bits of Inon macro lenses I occasionally use to no real good. Not the fault of the camera or lenses so much as my lack of interest in macro. My two Inon D2000 strobe are still rock solid. I cannot ever recall a missed flash. The optical coupling has been in fact 100%.
I typically get 2.5 to 3 dives from a charge on the camera, pretty steady. Strobe battery life has never been an issue. A GoPro Silver 4 was recently added atop the camera which still rides on my mostly DIY tray with UCS arms, clamps and balls. Kind of heavy out of the water but underwater it handles like a sports car with perfect balance, small enough to get in tight without banging into the reef.
Pretty good selfie rig, nothing much can be done about me though.
I really need to send the FIX housing back to Reef Photo where it came from to hopefully be serviced, hope they can do that for me.
