I'm finally moving from Ikelite to Nauticam and trying to decide between two Sony options. I am a nature and wildlife hobby photographer. Option 1: Sony A7R V Pros: Lower overall cost Housing would also fit my existing A7 IV, giving me a backup body for an upcoming remote 5-week dive trip to French Polynesia Cons: Older generation body Electronic shutter not usable Option 2: Sony A7R VI Pros: Latest generation body No rolling shutter, good for speed for most photo situation (not fast action) Better video Cons: More expensive No backup body (housing only supports one) My main setup will likely be the WACP-C with the Sony 28-60, as most reviews seem to favor it over the traditional 16-35 + dome combination. A couple of questions for those with experience on remote dive trips: Would you prioritize having a newer body or compatibility with an existing backup body? Is the A7R V still considered a great underwater option in 2026, or would you go straight to the A7R VI? Is the Sony A7RVI worth the upgrade? Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated :)
