Re: mid range ($) apsc camera and housing

More for video or stills?  Flash?   Experience level of friend, both diving and photography?

It's a pretty good budget, I think.  I don't know what's out there in that price range though.  Willing to go used?

As a single, obsolete data point, I spent about $5k on a Nauticam housing, dual YS-D1 strobes, a focus light, two wet lenses and a Sony RX100 II about 6 years ago.   I'm not sure anything has gotten cheaper.

That Panasonic + Nauticam sounds pretty similar to my rig, updated.   Same price for that part.   The strobes and wet lenses can add up.   I'd certainly consider the Panasonic, and I've now got three Nauticam housings, all of which have been good.
