Re: RX100 & MEIKON

I'd recommend a first or second gen rx100 with a cheap meikon / eachshot (etc) housing. This will get anyone out in the lineup with great results and not much money. The cheaper fixed hinged "dive" housings are bomb proof.

I'm amazed at the results I get over my regular $$$$ housing. I actually prefer it when shooting surfers at a distance, has a really nice easy to use zoom and in good lighting, has decent IQ.

Avoid the salted or seafrogs housings that have the removable backplate and double latch, as I found they leak and aren't suitable for surf.
