Re: Suggestions for first proper underwater camera?

Hi Drusus,

UW photography is fun, but does not come cheap. Maybe a second hand setup (as far as I know Canon GX7II and Sony RX100 are good compacts)?

I have several books on UW-photography, but the standard book is:

=> excellent both for beginners as well as advanced ones...

P.S.: Here a link to Wetpixel - a recent video on compact camera selection (I did not watch it, so can not say wheter it is really good):  https://wetpixel.com/articles/wetpixel-live-compact-camera-choices
