I am still using my trusty Olympus C5050 camera for all my main work, and it still performs like a champ. But, with it's Ikelite housing and dual Ikelite D125 strobes on their long arms, small and compact it is not. I have noticed a problem with getting up close for those macro shots with this rig, especially with trying to avoid bumping into coral structures and such, and got to thinking that a second, small camera in a compact housing would be just the ticket for this kind of stuff. I could leave it clipped to my BC and out of the way between uses, or even squirrel it away in a BC pocket (if it fits...) I have seen some of you guys do incredible work with just a compact camera and no additional strobe, and was wondering if anyone else had tried this dodge and how well it worked for them. Any ideas? Thanks for your input. Woody
