I have a Sony F707 camera that I would LOVE to use underwater but I don't want to spend $1,000 on a housing because I'm going to replace it soon. My backup plan is to use my wife's Sony DSC-P9 with the MPK-P9 housing. I can still get the Mpk-p9 housing for about $250 on eBay.
I have a DiveRite HID canister light that I'd like to use with this camera. Will that work? I don't want to buy a bunch of special strobes and stuff for the P9 as it's not really a serious camera. If I can use my canister light with the P9 I'd by the housing for it.
Otherwise I'll probably wait for the new F828 and get a housing for that and do it right. I was just looking for a way to get into underwater photography the cheap and easy way with the Sony P9. It's small and easy to use for a casual user.
If you've ever tried an HID light with your camera please let me know how that worked.
Thanks
