What point and shoot would you recommend to someone who wants to print? The Olympus has RAW capability, but, it probably can't print beyond 8x10 without serious resolution loss. The other's don't really have any RAW capability. By the time one buys a housing, strobe, point and shoot, you are looking at $1500 anyways, aren't you? If so, then I'd much rather wait it out until I can find a way to make it affordable and safe for me.

I honestly don't know what compact cameras are out there now. I'd look at the Sony RX100 (latest), but I hate the confusion of Sony menus, especially underwater. I like the simplicity of Canon point-n-shoots.

Dear lord you have some serious kit. I am going to peruse the forum for some of your images when I get the chance.

You can look at my website, listed in my signature. No ads. It's just a simple web site running on one of my home servers.

I am not a faon of Sony cameras for much the same reason. I will look at what Canon have to offer. I think though, I'll stick to a GoPro for now, get 50 dives in various conditions under my belt and then take a look at under water photography again. The investment is much more than I can afford for now and I'd definitely like to become a better diver before I try such complicated stuff underwater.
