Hi Everyone
First a bit of background.. I'm a very experienced photographer topside, but a newly certified diver looking to get into underwater photography. And I was looking for some advice from you experienced guys.
Basically I already own 2 Canon 1D-X's for my topside work..
But looking at the price differential between the Nauticam housings for the 1D-X and 5Diii I can almost pickup a used 5Diii and housing for a similar price as just the 1D-X housing.
Therefore I was wondering obviously although the 1D-X has a few more advanced features higher framerate etc. I was wondering if the 5Diii would be preferable for underwater work due to the fact it is significantly less bulky/more streamlined...
Or with an 8 inch done port on it doesn't make much difference?
I know either option is going to be a lot of money and might seem a bit crazy for my first underwater setup. But I know this is something I really want to do, so would rather not waste money on a compact setup to upgrade later.
Thanks for any advice in advance
