I am interested in beginning UW photography and have lots of questions. I've tried searching the archives but became even more confused. I am looking for a camera and think I would like digital.
I have thought about getting on of the cheapos under $100 and playing around with it for a while. Then I got smart and decided I probably shouldn't waste the hundred when I could put it towards a better camera that will last me longer. I do not want extremely expensive though until I know what I am doing. I've heard that external flash is best. I plan to take amateur pictures of divers, and some sea life but no up close pictures yet. Mostly just to show to non divers and family and to have as keepsakes. Is there a good priced camera that I could add on to later(lenses, etc)?
Sorry for all the questions but all of the archive hits I got were for very experienced photographers. If anyone has links to old threads Id be willing to read them! I'm going on a Blackbeard's liveaboard in Feb. and would like to be able to take some pictures then!
