Re: Sony Cybershot W80

Thanks Adam for the pictures. I cannot access the U-Tube at the mo as i am at work :0(

I have searched around and apparently you can get a fiber optic cable to trigger a slave strobe for this housing (although i dont think it is made by Sony).

I have a digital video camera underwater setup as well, which works great, and takes superb footage, however am thinking i would like to focus more on still photography (so looking to sell this in the near future.) So am just deciding if its worth getting the housing and sourcing a strobe, or better to save my money and go for the works ( SLR and Housing etc.) once i have sold my Video setup.

Can you switch the macro function on and off whilst the camera is in the housing?

I would be very interested to see how it copes in the sea when you get there?

On the other hand 100 GBP for a housing is pretty good for the housing market and wouldnt break the bank! The land shots i have taken so far, have been superb, and the camera appears to be incredibley versatile and adaptable.

I will have a look at your video tonight when i get home.

Thanks

Here is some video I have put on Youtube. There are a few more pool vids if you search under my username. YouTube - Dynamic Apnea - Technique Training

And here are some photos.
