converting from film to digital

[shoturtle]

Thanks for the replies, especially about not using the Canon sx110. I was thinking about buying a case but now I think I'm going to try and put together my old setup for my next trip. I think I will use print film and when its developed, transfer to digital from the negatives.

If you were to dive a digital, I would consider the canon s90 or G11. Small more compact with excellent imaginers on them.

But the big advantages is you can take multiply shots in a dive, not limited to 36 with a roll of film. Something to consider.

I made that change(after 12 years of 35 mm---Sea & Sea MM II with strobe) in April of '07...Found the change to digital(Canon A570IS camera with NO strobe)to be greatly improved ie much higher ratio of better shots/shots taken over 35 mm.......

In fact, look @ my 1st pictures(1st link below) taken underwater with this camera from Little Cayman in July of '07 --then one week later @ the Flower Gardens....All of the Little Cayman pics & videos start with the letters LC in their album names(5 of them) & the Flower Garden pics/videos have FG in their album titles located on left side of 1st linked page...Also some of those original pics are located in the 2nd linked site(UW PS Pics--starting on page 2 thru 5)......In reality, you're gunna LOVE digital UW photography.....

I'm in kind of the same spot as you are. I've got a $3K housing for my Nikon F5, etc. I also have a Nikon D1X. As long as I pretend I'm shooting positives the digital switch doesn't screw me up. Like positives, if you overexpose you're screwed with digital. In my experience I get the best looking digital from film pictures from shooting positives and then scanning (Nikon Coolscan 8000). The saturation, etc. is really good.
