The Fisheye FIX housing feels good in your hands, the shutter is large and accessible and, combined with the wide angle accessory lens, this is a solid system perfect for the intermediate photographer looking for high-quality results at a reasonable price.

The Test Diver Says

The S90 is similar to my personal point-and-shoot, so I was able to pick it up and use it right away. I liked the weight and balance — how it felt in my hands with the large port on. With the standard port on it wasn’t as well balanced but still handled well and was comfortable to carry and use. After locating the shoot trigger — built very low-profile onto the side of the housing — I liked it even better; it required only very light pressure to function and was in a great spot ergonomically, in that I didn’t have to move my finger from carrying and aiming position to fire for the shot. The camera was intuitive, with menu functions that were simple to navigate through. It was very easy to review and delete pictures while underwater, and it took good pictures on land. This camera did not have an external flash on an arm (just the flash on the camera in the housing), so it did not give off enough light in darker conditions. However, the size of the system and its ease of use make it perfect for getting in close and using off the beach or the boat. — Sheri Bauer
