All,
I'm looking at purchasing a digital underwater camera. My experiences are with crappy point & shoots, Sea & Sea MX-5 (which I own), and with a rented Sea & Sea MX-10.
My local dive shop has two digitals I'm interested in; both have great prices since they are being discontinued. The first is the Sea & Sea DX3000G; the strobe recommended by Sea & Sea is also being discontinued (any info on alternate strobes that will work?). The second camera is the Canon S60 w/Underwater Housing; I know nothing about accessories for this one.
Can anyone provide me with feedback (positive and negative) on either of these cameras? I know there is a difference in depth ratings for these camera's; I'm leaning toward the DX300G for this reason since I would like to use the camera on a wreck dive which may take me deeper or to the max depth the Canon is rated for...but this is not a deal breaker.
Thanks in advance.
