I have the Sony Cybershot P-1.  And just got back from a trip to the Virgin
Islands Kayaking. I Bought the underwater housing.
Positives:  Camera is small Fits in my shirt pocket
                UW case is simple to use and allows near full function.
                Great pictures With 64 mb memory chip can get  70+ shot at
1600x1200 plus a mini movie or two

Negatives: Camera HATES SAND (soon to send in for cleaning)
                  Water spot on UW case lens must be watched or great pics
look like Witness prection shots
                Paralax while snorkling is hard to compensate for
                Quirk of loading into uw case is the camera is set to the
movie function so you have to watch that you then switch to still before
taking shots


all in all I like the camera.  Does anyone know if a product like RainX
would lessen the water spot problem?

Mark
