Hi all,
I want to buy my first underwater camera. My budget is small (600 or $800).
I can buy equipment secondhand. I have the folllowing options for this budget and i am hoping you can give me some advice.
option A:
Canon Powershot G9
Ikelite housing # 6147.09
Ikelite special short port #9305.92
Inon UWL-100 large angle
Inon UWL-100 dome
Inon UCL-330 macro lens
Double arm holder for 2x TTL
Option B:
Canon G10
Canon Underwater Housing
Ikelite TTL AL35
----
I am going to backpack through Mexico, Guatamale and Belize for 4 weeks so i travel light. In total i will dive for 7 days in Belize (Glover's Reef). When weight is involved i think the G10 option (B) is better. When quality is involved the G9 might be a better option. Problem with option A is the lack of a TTL (but it does have the better Inon stuff). I hope someone could advice me (or point me to an even better alternative because the g9 and g10 are older camera's). Thanks in advance.
