Arguably the best compact digicam available for underwater phtography. This camera has the essential for underwater photography and more. Like a full manual mode and very good macro capabilities. This is one of the few cameras with a hot shoe and a housing that connects to that hot shoe via a port.

The best battery (and corresponding charger) I've found for the SP-350. It lasts me 2+ dives and charges fast. The CRV3 battery has 1700mAh capacity which is one of the highest I've seen out there. The multi-volt charger is handy for overseas travel.
