Christian, Actually I'd like to hear a discussion of what divers are using for video UW. I've been looking at DV cameras lately and I've looked at couple of sub-$1000 cameras and another pair right at the $1k price-point. The Sony DCR-TRV900 is a 3 CCD megapixel camera that is very highly rated and it can be had for about $1100.00 online. The Sony DCR-TRV30 is another $1000.00 megapixel camcorder, but with a single CCD. The Panasonic PC-DV600 and the Sony DCR-TRV720 are both about $700 and are comparable in quality and resolution. Not 3 CCDs like the TRV-900 or megapixel like the TRV30, but when output to VHS one very subjective reviewer said they rivaled the Canon XL-1 in quality. The Sony DCR-TRV900 has a housing available for about $1200, but my guess is that for a good housing, lights and camera you're looking at about $3000-5000 for an entry-level system. You can probably find cheaper, but would you want it? JoeL -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
