Fair enough, but a flip screen relies on a delicate hinge mechanism and ribbon cables going into the camera body; you're not likely to find one on a camera designed to survive dunking into water. ...

Yep, this pretty much aligns with my empirical findings. The difference between -3, +0 and +3 flash compensation was noticeable, but not orders of magnitude noticeable. If I get an s-TURTLE trigger ...

Thank you, this is just as I suspected - in optical trigger mode, it just blindly mimics the driving light source, pre-flash and all, and the manual power adjustment only comes in play for wired ...

An IP67/IP68 rated phone with a good camera will likely come closest to hitting your target features.

If you have a Sony camera, Phase One has a free version of Capture One Express that processes Sony ARW files, as well as a deeply discounted version of Capture One Pro.

Thank you :) We dived that area at night, the water was clear, and with two wide-angle lights illuminating a wide area, they were actually not super-difficult to spot - I shot five of them on that ...

$11k and Samsung has you covered - https://www.samsung.com/semiconductor/ssd/enterprise-ssd/MZILS15THMLS/

I believe a 30TB version is going to hit the channel sometime soon.

Diving the Ras Mohammad/Straits of Tiran area from VIP Shrouq liveaboard with a Sony A6300 in a SeaFrogs Salted Line housing, mostly with the Sony 10-18mm f/4 lens behind a 6" dome; one dive ...

I asked Meikon support when the 8" dome came out whether there is any image quality difference between 6" and 8" domes with Sony 10-18mm, and they replied that IQ is the same; bigger dome being ...

500lm is a very modest amount of light output these days - you can get that much out of an LED light that fits on a keychain. I dive with a pair of Archon D36V lights (5200lm each), got no ...

If all you need is a waterproof LED light, then there's no reason to lug around a huge DS-161 - there's plenty of waterproof LED torches on the market, ranging from splash-proof to 100m depth rated.

There's a free version of Capture One Express for Sony cameras, and a heavily discounted version of Capture One Pro - both do a fine job of processing Sony RAW format.

I found something that might be of interest to you - Ikelite has a housing for Sony HX90V - https://www.ikelite.com/products/underwater-housing-for-sony-cyber-shot-hx80-hx90-wx500 That's a 30x zoom ...

I would be extremely reluctant to take an RX10 IV kayaking in a soft bag. One brush with a rock and you're out $1700. As for 15x zoom - that will be... interesting to achieve. Superzoom lenses are ...

Define 'decent' zoom range - Olympus TG-5 has 25-100mm equivalent and is pretty much built for applications like yours.

Yowza!

There are only a few cameras that can go to scuba depths without a housing, and none of them are actually good cameras. Olympus TG-5 and SeaLife DC2000 are the only waterproof models that are ...

Aside from the top-end professionals who pay for a service contract for their gear, what does it matter whose label it is on the lens as long as it gets light onto the sensor?

12-24mm F/4 doesn't really make sense on an APS-C body when 10-18mm F/4 is available for less than half the cost and weight. You need an FF body for 12-24 to realize its potential.

Be aware that on the surface, in bright sunlight, the screen is likely to get washed out to the point of being a blank rectangle. Fantasea and Nauticam have add-on hoods for their housings ( example ...
