Re: Some camera gear at the Digital Shootout

the liveboards' camera tables these days are half big rigs, half gopros.  The compacts are vanishing away.  And as you saw, the 4/3 rigs are nearly the same size as a FF - the housing is smaller, but the strobe arms and strobes are no different.

The main variation is in the dome port size.   A FE lens can use a 4" dome port.   But a rectalinear needs no less than a 6, and most are 8-9.5, so again, no space savings.

You did see thoese $7000 wet lenses from Nauticam that avoid the volume, if not the weight.   But money would have to be no object to go there.
