Also is this any good for general use too...? I've read that in reviews also that for general use the photo quality is poor?
Answer
When I dive, I use an old Nikonos V 35 mm camera.
These little P&S waterproof cameras that cost less than $400 are not designed for a serious underwater photographer. As long as you understand their limitations, then spend some more time doing your research.
NOTE: Read only professional reviews, not those from disappointed users who do not have a clear understanding of what to expect from such cameras.
Once you get below 1 meter, you start losing the reds and adding a red filter only makes your whole image red. This means you need to use some kind of flash when diving in order to get good colour in your shots
A good underwater housing for a dSLR will cost you about $3,000 for a starting point and more if you want to use more than one lens. Care and maintenance is critical to using any under water camera or housing

I'm going for my Master Diver/OWSI and I plan to get into Underwater photography. I need to find a compact high quality digital camera and housing (solid enough some some technical deep dives). Anyone have any experience with this??
