but I'll ask here 1st anyways.I know there is alot of different forum users with different back grounds,so I fell like someone will be able to help me or steer me to the right place t ask.

I am considering purchasing a pair of Sony HDR-HC9s to go into underwater housings to film in offshore bluewater for HD and SD broadcast.

Iam curious if anyone has worked with these and know how they might do for this use??

any help would be appreciated..Thank you

I have worked with HC7's in a Light & Motion Bluefin housing - nice setup. A shooter I have corresponded with recommended them for underwater content for broadcast - he said in the right conditions, the camera was every bit as good as the Z1U in an housing. And he's done work for OUtdoor Life channel, Discovery, etc.
