I Need some input on a good backup P&S camera and housing. I am moving into dSLR territory soon. Right now I shoot a cp5000/ike and absolutely love its macro capabilities. I need some suggestions on which P&S to use as a backup/ fun camera. Here are some of my "wishlist" capabilities:
1) minimal shutter lag
2) good/great macro capabilities
3) ability to use/adapt WA wet lens to housing
4) compact dedicated housing (this is a backup afterall (read carry-on)
5) ability to use either Inon or Ike strobes
any suggestions would be appreciated
There are several, but I think the Fuji E900 along with the Inon strobes is a very good system and will do everything you like. It works with Ike strobes, but not well, as their is a sizeable lag both shooting and in flash recycle.
They are fairly cheap, as is the housing; each ~$300.

i also would like some suggestions with regard to best p&s giving minimal shutter lag...
i posted a similar thread and got some great answers but the shutter lag issue is what will finally make my decision - until i get some confidence about lag i'll hold off buying anything.
