- Underwater Camera House?
I was wondering if I should buy the Fantasea CP-3 which is a hard plastic case to protect the camera (its about $150) or the WP-500 which is a special plastic bag that holds a camera (its only $30). The Fantasea is a lot more expensive, and only fits one model, but its a lot more reliable. The WP-500 is a lot cheaper, fits lots of different models of cameras, but isn't as reliable. Does anyone have either of these models, and which one should i get? thanks!
A It depends upon how deep you want to dive. Here is a link the the oldest underwater housing company ... over 40 years. http://www.ikelite.com/

- Are underwater cameras different from normal cameras (apart from being waterproof)?
I have a Nikon S200 with Fantasea FS-200 underwater housing. If I bought a camera that was specifically sold as an underwater camera (eg. the Fujifilm FinePix XP10 - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Fujifilm-FinePix-XP10-Digital-Camera/dp/B00342UTNY/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1287082647&sr=8-2) would it be any different or does it have any special settings or something. Or would it just be the same as my current camera?
A The only difference is that the XP10 does not need a housing. The FS-200 is a robust underwater housing with double "O"-rings and can stand depths down to 60 m vs the XP10 3 m. I prefer to add a housing when necessary for underwater work. Depending upon the seals on a camera like the XP10 can be risky "If you are looking for a new camera, that will be your only camera, I'd recommend you look elsewhere. For the same money you can get a cracking camera with better features that isn't waterproof. Having the waterproof case in a camera will always be a compromise, so you have to expect this regardless of which model of camera you choose. That said this model's great if you have the need to buy a cheap water proof/dust proof camera, that will allow you to take a few snaps while sailing, swimming or lounging on the beach, then this could well be what you need." -- M.
