I've been interested in picking up the mark I of the sony. Only downsides that have kept me from grabbing one are the really tiny LCD and the f4 lens. I feel like 2.8 should be a minimum.

I get your points, Adam: wider apertures are best for underwater photography.

Nevertheless f4 for 1 inch sensor should be way better than f2.8 with way smaller 1/2.3-inch sensors (see Olympus Though series, but also Ricoh and Nikon equivalents).

The Sealife has f1.8 but I ask myself how much I would actually use it anyway, since I would shoot close to sea level where the light absorption is not too critical like deep down. Also, the Sony has interesting video recording capabilities that could be handy for other purposes.
