I am a Scuba diver, who dives in the UK, (low light and visibilty) to the red sea (bright and colourful). I had a Fuji F11 which I used to take on all dives with me but am now looking for something newer.

Can anyone recomend which camera I should be considering for the types of conditinos I am likley to encounter.

I have narrowed it down to Canon, Panasonic and Fuji as they all make their own housings rated to 30/40 metres in depth. I do like Fuji as it is what I had before. However, having used a friends Panasonic I was very impressed. I alsoi hear good things about the canon.

I would want manual white balance. Other than that I dont need anything else. HD movie would be nice though.

Budget for the camera is around £200 and I am definately looking for a compact.

Thanks for any advice you can give.
