New camera for Asia travel I have a Nikon D90 to big for cheapest flights to Bangkok so I wanted a smaller camera that had a underwater camera housing made for it. The Cannon G12 with Underwater housing cost all together around $650 and it auto focus on HD videos. The new Nikon F7000 with the FP7000 from Fantasea is going to easy run you $1000 biggest benefit for all that extra cash is that you can go to 65 meters instead of 40 meters with the Cannon.
I have been doing research for a while on this and I wanted to go with the new Nikon but Fantasea could not get it delivered for my departure time so I went on Amazon and bought it there.
If you are going to buy on Amazon you really need to read the descriptions. I think that the best deals will be the ones that also come with the memory and a carrying case.
I needed to go out and buy those separately I got 2 8 gig memory cards for under $60. When looking for the SD cards also pay attention to the write speed as this will slow you down when shooting pictures as it "reloads" for the next shot.
For the carry case I ended up buying a Sony case for it but it will ride on my belt on cheap flights so that I can save on the overweight fees.
I can't wait to start getting the Underwater photos and underwater videos on the EcoSea.com site.
