I have been diving for over 7 yrs now and never really got into photographing what I was seeing underwater. I have a fuji s7000 that I have been using for a while. while I do enjoy all the features and the photo quality I don't like the size. plus I can't take it diving with me so I am in the market for a new camera for diving.
I am looking for a descent digital camera that I can get an underwater case for. I would like it to have at a very minimum 4.0 megapixel. I would like it so that when I don't use the case I can use it top side. I would also like the case so I can put an external strobe on it so I can get some better pics.
it would also be really nice if the camera was one of those dust and moisture proof cameras as well. I saw another diver who had one of those and he mentioned how great it was b/c he could just throw it in his pocket when he was outdoors and didn't have to worry about the dust or the sand affecting it. I spend alot of time outdoors and in the woods so that would be a big plus for me as well.
I know I am likely to get tons of opinions but that is fine, I would just like to know what other prefer or atleast get a starting point so I know where to start looking.
thanks alot for the adivce. I am heading to Cozumel over labor day so that is when I need to get it by.
