Re: Sealife DC2000 or Sony RX0 II ?

I have the DC2000 for two years and haven’t had a better camera for the purposes you mention. Don’t go for the Olympus TG-5; I have bought the camera twice, but always sold it again. It is a far more streamlined camera with very nice options, but the image quality just isn’t as good as the DC2000. You really can tell the difference between the 1” and the smaller Olympus sensor. If you can live with a fixed 31mm and quirky handling (menu-wise), you have a camera that delivers very good IQ, under water and on land.

I haven’t used the RX0, but it seems to limited to me. Of course this is just my opinion 😉.

Thank you so much for your feedback! The 31mm fixed lens for me is an advantage, as I normally shoot with 28 and 35mm lenses. Do you dare to use the DC2000 without shell when taking pictures underwater? It appears it should work just fine...
