In the second of our chats on Wetpixel Live Adam and I talk about what to think about when buying a compact camera for underwater photography.

I’ve previously written blogs about custom white balance, shooting RAW, having a flash, being able to add wide angle wet lenses and having a full manual mode all of which are desirable features in a camera for underwater photography.
