Backup P&S, need starting point

Recommended Posts

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.
