I'd like to hear from somebody who has used this one. How fast is it underwater? I'm tired of fish butts, but too cheap to move up to DSLR.

Well, you won't hear from anyone who has used it, as it is being released next week at Dema. Hopefully, I can bring an arm full home with me next week, and we'll make one available for folks to try out in our pool so hopefully in the next few weeks, someone can give you some of those answers!

I just found this thread. I sent a bunch of questions out to Joe in a PM this morning. I will post the answers when I get them.

That was a good question Danny, but I didn't ask him that one.

I am going to Rotan in January and I could use a decent camara. Is this camera worth looking into?

Any suggestions as to which camera would suit my needs.

I dont plan on taking photo class. Just a nice underwater camera. I dont need all the fancy lights.

Will this camera mount to a tripod? Yes it has the standard mount on the bottom of the housing!

Will it accept other lenses? If so do you sell them?
The lens will use the same one that is for the 860 so it will sell for $250.00

Are replacement O-rings readily available for the underwater housing? If so do you carry them?
Yes we do have the extra O-Rings they sell for $9.95

What accessories are available for it? Which ones do you sell? I know they will have strobes, lens and lens cover!

Does Sea and Sea make a recharger that I can use in my vehicle? Do you carry them? They don't make one for that camera!


What size memory card comes with this unit? It seems by the description that it may come with an 8GB card but this is not clear.
No it does not come with the 8GB card but it will handle up to 8gb cards

Does this camera have full manual and full auto capabilities? From what I have read it does!

Well I just pulled the trigger on this one. I'll be happy to post up a review soon.
Luckily I'll get a chance to test it out right in Cozumel in 20 more days. WooHoo!!!!
