Re: would the Sony RX100 V be a bad option for underwater ?

I was able to take my RX100Va out for a day of scuba diving this past weekend. one thing I need to note is yes the Va has an F1.8 lens but that DoF is WAY WAY to shallow to image at while underwater.

Here are a few photos for you to enjoy. Note these photos were captured with a 1000 lumen flashlight (Kraken Hydra 1000+WSR) as a constant light and the cameras onboard flash as a fill light.

this was captured with ambient light only
