Nice to see reviews from someone who’s actually touched the cameras

Yes please to a video dedicated to the sealife dc2000! I'm considering one! 😊

Out of all of the cameras which one is your favorite that you could use just for fun every dive but with good quality

I rented an Oymplus TG 6 camera while I was on vacation in Roatan honduras last month and it took some amazing pictures. I bet took over 150 pictures while scuba diving.

Hello,
Having the Olymus EPL10 with the AOI housing for a month, Pictures are great, onley the camera flips out after 30 min testing in a indoor swimming pool of 24 ° Celcius... What is going wrong ? Nothing works, enymore, on the LCD screen, , onley the trigger works.
When i take the camera out the housing it feels verry warm, is this normal ?

What is the difference between full frame mirror less cameras and dslr for underwater photography?

[BAMFSQUAD]

Yea my iPhone didn’t like scuba diving either lol. For some reason it won’t come back on. I was teaching OW dives 1&2 at blue heron bridge the whole time my phone in my pocket 🤦‍♂️

[ToxicallyMasculinelol]

there are lots of full-frame mirrorless cameras though. Sony alpha 7C for example. Panasonic Lumix S5. all the big DSLR manufacturers have full-frame mirrorless cameras these days. and most of these are comparable in size to DSLRs, though there are compact ones.

I e taken my iPhone under water a few times. Probably no more than 4 feet deep but it worked great. You just can’t charge it until it dries out.

Depending on the SLR model, the sensor is either full or cropped.

[OldOakPainter]

Mirrorless is definitely the better way to go for low light. Sony all the way!

Your infos about DSLR vs Mirroless aren't really up to date... Mirrorless is now considered the superior standard for smaller, lighter and better cameras. You get to see a live view of your exposure through the viewfinder, the AF is way better, it lasts longer than using liveview on a DSLR and has now better noise performance. Lenses are also generally smaller, faster and sharper. It is also a better mix of video and photo, hence the "hybrid" name. The whole industry is moving towards it and DSLRS are slowly becoming obsolete. Also mirrorless cameras are now made in every sensor size which makes your information false.

Cameras are almost as bad as religion LOL I use a sealife 2.0 getting a 3.0 soon
