Has anyone used the Olympus Stylus 8000 underwater? What did you think of it? Pros and cons?
I hate being without a camera on any dive, and sometimes it isn't possible to take my DSLR setup along (shoredives particularly). I am looking for a very small point and shoot that will fit in a BC pocket.
I saw some discussion of the Olympus 1030SW, and the Stylus 8000 just seems to be a later model of that camera. It has the advantage of being waterproof without a housing, at least down to 33 ft. I would likely get a housing, and it looks like Olympus and Ikelite make housings.
If you don't like the 8000, any suggestions for another point and shoot?
Thanks!
