Hello David, you probably had the wrong port on your RX100VII housing. I use(d*) the RX100VI in a Nauticam housing and can use the full zoom range with the standard port. Can't comment on the G7X as I don't have one, but know 1 of my scuba friends has one and is happy with it. In analog times I used to shoot with a setup of 2 cameras - a Minolta Dynax 8000i and standard zoom or 100mm macro in a Hugyfot housing, with a Nikonos V, 28 or 15mm lenses mounted on top of the housing, and a strong Subtronic flash with integrated pilot light. This allowed me to shoot wide and macro on the same dive, up to 72 exposures on 1 dive! But of course this was a very heavy setup, so when I switched to digital I knew I wouldn't want another system camera setup. And I also knew that 1 flash alone isn't optimal, so my new setup includes 2 very compact Inon S2000. The biggest disadvantage of the RX100VI/VII is the limited battery capacity. If I shoot more video, it often runs out of power before the end of the dive. But its image quality is great. * I bought the RX100VI kit in 2018 and used only this until now, but had it upgraded to RX100VII just now.

Hi, I'm Wolfgang from Munich! Started to dive 1985, took first UW photos 1986 and have about 350 recreational dives. Just had my kit upgraded from Sony RX100VI to VII. You can read a bit more about me on my website wolfgangsphotos.com, a little more on wolfgangsphotos.de if you understand German (or use a translator). You may also find me in many travel, photography and a few diving forums under the same handle, wus (my initials). I prefer snorkelling* over diving - also with the camera -, but also go scuba where it is worth it. This photos was taken snorkelling in Ambon bay under ships anchoring in the little Laha harbour. You are welcome to respond here if you have any questions. * Snorkelling for me includes going down, sometimes to 20m and more.
