I will post this here since you have asked and you are on a budget, however everyone on here will tell you, what you need is the 5050.

I have recently bought a Sony P10 and housing, it has never been outside never mind been in the water.
I have two 256mb cards as well as the 32mb supplied and an additional battery.  If your on a budget I can sell you mine for £460.  The cards alone are almost £100 retail.

Just a thought

Fiona,
just to clarify, you have bought a sony P-10 so you have a 5050 to sell?
or are you selling a Sony P-10?
If you are selling a 5050 then I'm interested (will have to consult with her who must be obeyed) especialy if it has any warranty left on it.

As an example of the kind of work you can produce with a very reasonably priced 4 mp digital camera (Canon PowerShot S45), take a look at a friend of mine's home page http://www.resochdyk.nu/
Click &quot;Fotogalleri&quot; and then &quot;Dykning&quot; for a selection of u/w pics from various trips he's made.
Have a look at the video &quot;Grå revhaj i Sudan&quot; (Grey reef sharks in Sudan) on the first page too.
Hans uses no external flash and no filter and only uses the camera's internal flash for extreme close-ups. He also uses the white balance function a lot, says that is the secret to bringing out the colour without an external flash. The reasults speak for themselves, in my opinion.

I've got the Olympus mju400 with the pt016 housing. I'm damned impressed so far. I have only taken pictures in blue water but the close up shots are really good and the internal flash does the job. Email me direct if you want some examples.

£375 is a good price....I paid more and we are ment to be tax free!

TBH,
I'm leaning more and more towards the Mju 400, it's only for taking holiday snaps, if I was buying a 35mm camera for above water use it'd be a £99 special.

You can get the camera for £259 here:
http://www.digital-cameras.com/shop/...4.html#bundles
and the PT-016 housing for £99 from the same place
http://www.digital-cameras.com/shop/...ct.asp?id=1239
Total £358, which seems to be the lowest price in the UK.
Actually, the housing is a few pounds cheaper here (scroll almost all the way down the page) but they don't seem to sell the camera:
