Decent Scuba camera

[Crass3000]

I'm about to get a SCUBA camera. Not looking for the best as I know I can't afford it. Looking at the SeaLife Duo Pro X2. Some people have suggested some that I can't afford but womdering if anybody has experience with that camera and others and thinks something is in the same price range or a little more that is better. I'm not looking for video. Just straight pics from a camera that goes to at least 130 feet. Anybody have any better suggestions that aren't too much more expensive?

I have an underwater housing for my G9. If you were to buy the whole thing now (G9 used, Housing Used w/new O-rings, External flash new) you would still be under the $1200 mark of that SeaLife Duo Pro X2 and still have a camera you can use above water as well.

GoPro w/Scuba housing for video.

Go pro with flat lens housing. You can take pics, just can`t see them till you get topside. Frame grabs look pretty good too. Not sure on the depth though.

Olympus has a camera for 350 dollars that is waterproof to 40 ft..

That's what I meant. The included domed housing fucks with the focus. Why the hell they don't change that design is beyond me.

Nikonos. Should set you back somewhere around 100-175 depending on the model. Forgot to mention it is 35mm film. And has interchangeable lenses. Great bang for the buck, just check your O-rings.
