My suggestion is to get an older model camera with a cheaper housing.
I've had several cameras from nikon/canon/sony and others...I recently got an old sony N2 in like-new condition with an underwater housing for less then $250 for both.... the underwater pictures are fantastic even at 100 feet below. Video came out great, not HD but nice and clear. Zoom is only 3x but sufficient for the dive.
I have the SX130 and love this camera for every day carry around over my bulky Canon 50D. However, I think its limitation will have a significant effect when shooting underwater.
Good luck.

I've been obsessively looking at camera reviews for a good two weeks now. I've never actually owned a digital camera but I've used quite a few and have been hanging out with some friends of mine who have a Canon DSLR and a Canon G11 and have been learning a lot about manual controls. My first desicion, which I obviuosly have not gone through with yet was for the Canon sx130 is. The only problem that I had found with it was the battery life (easily solved with Ni-mh batteries) but I'm an avid scuba diver and the underwater housing is about 450 dollars. I looked around some more and found the following models of canon camera: sd1400 is, sd4000 is, 100 HS and possibly the s90 or s95 but they are also very expensive for me.
Should I get one of the second group? Get the sx130 is and just wait till I fall into some money for the housing? or go for one of the S series with less expensive housings and more expensive camera? I really like the minature setting on the video and long exposure. What to do?
Thanks,
Josh
