I use the RX100vii and i‘m very happy with it. A Small Camera and good to travelling. Max the A6000 does not have 4k resolution. Thank you for this Video🎉

Heyy bro, any recommendations for wide-mid range zoom lens for Sony A6400 to be used underwater ?

Hi Maxime!

First of all: Nice video. :) I really want to get into underwater photography myself thus I am looking for my first real underwater kit right now. (I have some previous experiences with GoPros, but I have some issues with the image quality I get out of these tiny bodies.)

Therefore I would love to hear your opinion on the handling with one of the cameras you mentioned.

My "problem": I would call myself an experienced wildlife photographer. I absolutely can operate my camera blindly and I already own a Sony a6600 with all the lenses I need. I have also some ambitions when it comes to my photos so I wouldn't feel very satisfied with downgrading my gear to let's say the Olympus.

That said, I am just recently certified as a scuba diver, so I am not really experienced in this regard. (Yet I want to say, that I am feeling absolute comfortable under water! It is just an overall great experience for me!) Most of the time, people give the advise to start as small as possible - using a Olympus TG at maximum. But as I said, I am sceptical if I would be satisfied with the image quality in comparison to my Sony A6600 and not to forget, i already OWN this camera and the lenses.

So, do you think that this "intermediate" camera, in a small housing and a single flash system to keep it as lightweigth as possible, could be a good starting point for an unexperienced diver but experienced photographer?

(It should be needless to say that I don't plan to perform any complicated or dangerous dives as long as I have the camera with me. I want to start slowly but surely.)

Keep it up!

What do you think about Zcam EC-2 with a proper housing?
