morning, folks! first let me say, i am excited to see this new user group, because i know there are a lot of sea life users out there somewhere...they just have to find out about the forum.
here's my dilemma and question. we have a nikon d50 with dual strobe, multi lenses, etc and it's great. but we are considering a 2nd (CHEAPER) setup so that both of us can be 'armed' when that elusive critter turns up and the other person is looking at something else or has the wrong type of lens on, etc. we already have our starter uw camera, a canon a85 with housing, but no strobe, and of course, no attachment lenses. so we've been looking at either getting a strobe for it vs. the sea life dc600 elite (has the wide angle lens that is interchangable underwater, digital strobe, etc).
anyone have any insight over the best way to go? would like to stay under $1000 and we get cost at our lds due to my wife being dive con there. oh, and wife going on a 'girls' trip' in 3 weeks, so time is of the essence.
also would like to see some good pics, esp macro, with the dc600 if anyone has any.
thanks!
