Another cool item just in time for the holidays is this new 860G underwater camera from Sea and Sea. It’s a 6.2 megapixel camera with a 2.5 inch LCD screen, and a 3x zoom lens. It will even record video with sound with 640x 480 pixel viewing. The only thing it’s missing is night vision. It’s going for $462, but it’s only available in Japan before Christmas. Since everyone out there is an avid underwater diver, or at least an avid snorkler like me, you might want to go pick this bad boy up before you go on that vacation to Fiji.

Yikes… I recently went to Aruba and brought along my own underwater setup. For less than $500 shipped, I have the Casio Exilim EX-Z1000 (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000FI2Y5Q?tag2=finalblue-20) and the underwater housing EWC-80 (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000FI2Y5Q?tag2=finalblue-20). It is rated for 130 feet depth, I have only taken it about 40 feet. Takes decent 10.1 megapixel pictures, comes with a diffuser, and takes quality videos with sound. Best of all you don’t have to go grey market!
