Until recently, underwater photographers had to choose between an expensive, 
bulky digital SLR or a compact camera. Now there’s a new generation of cameras that bridge the gap, offering the ability to choose specialist lenses, but from a camera body half the size of an SLR. Panasonic and Olympus have both got excellent MILC (mirrorless interchangeable lens camera) systems on the market, and now there’s a big buzz around the Sony NEX-5, which delivers 14.5-megapixel images and full HD 1080/60 video. Its low-light performance in particular could be extremely useful for underwater photography. Aquatica has already crafted this natty housing system, which looks extremely robust and will allow a variety 
of ports. You’re looking at the future here.
