UPDATE
The forum will be moving to a new domain in the near future (canonrumorsforum.com). I have turned off "read-only", but I will only leave the two forum nodes you see active for the time being. I don't know at this time how quickly the change will happen, but that will move at a good pace I am sure. ------------------------------------------------------------

I am looking for a decent underwater system and could use advice in what to choose. The following is what I am looking for.
I will greatly appreciate any recommendations.
- I do not plan to take underwater photos very often - mainly on vacation.
- I do not need a high depth rating. The vast majority of my photos will be in the pool and snorkeling.
- I am interested in taking photos where part is above water and part is underwater
- My budget is not very high. I did look into a sport housing for my 5D3 but that was running about $3k. I would really like to keep my budget for the underwater part under $1k
- My current thought is to buy a compact camera and put it in a housing. The housings for these cameras are much less expensive
- I have high standards on image quality. I have an X10 and that is about the minimum in terms of quality that I can tolerate. I imagine though that underwater I would have to use it at an unacceptable ISO
- If I buy a new camera for this, it would be nice if the camera is usable above ground too
I will greatly appreciate any recommendations.
