hey all.

im after a new camera.

i think ive narrowed it down to 2.

i will be using it underwater aswell so a housing is a must.

im thinking the Cannon G9
has 12.1mp, 6x Optical zoom.
cons were it was a tad big and heavy

the other one is the Panasonic TZ3
7.1mp, 10x Optical zoom.


both come with housings. the G9 is more expensive. about 200.

any comments / suggestions?

the main thing i was the camera for is a quick point and shoot, but have some good features for underwater etc.

Mate I would reccomend the Canon better overall camera, Better sensor, But the size and weight would be a personal issue also the underwater housing I dont have any experience with them, but I would chose the Canon over the panasonic without a doubt.

350D Twin Lens kit. Cheapish and fun. Was my first camera.

My mate has a Panasonic camera, its pretty good.

Both canon and the panasonic seem to be good, my persoanl preference would be canon though.

who cares if its heavy? You are not really going to notice underwater??

Yeah they do. www.canon.com.au - Depending on how serious you are with your water. If you would use it few times a week might be worth looking at a Dave Kelly Custom Water Housing.
