Having said that it will still allow to take stunning piccies so if you do get a good deal on the 5060 then by all means go for it. Be aware tho that there have been some real concerns over the quality of the Olympus housing for the 5060.
In my view there's no match for the 5050 for UW use without spending more money than you need to and then you're into low end DSLR pricing territory. |
So how much should a second-hand 5050 go for??
