hi everyone
i got my first decent camera today, i bought a fuji f30 last week but i changed my mind when i found a great camera on ebay with housing and other bits and bobs, so i put in a bid and won and took the f30 back to the shop , it arrived today i got a fuji e900 with a telephoto lens and a wide angle lens for above water as well as the ikelite housing and tray with an inon ad mount adapter thingy for those under water wet lenses and i got a 2gig h xd card too all for 400 euros or so, i done really well and im delighted with them all because they are all in brand new condition
i was just wondering how u guys attach ur cameras to u when ur under water, this setup is fairly heavy and i have read some posts saying that these cameras can be a little negative, the guy i bought it from had what seems to be a shoelace tied to the tray and it is strong enough to keep the camera from going anywhere while im using it but is there any other way to strap it to me, like a stretchy cord or something just incase i dropped it, or is there something that would allow me to have my hands free if i needed them free in a hurry, im a new diver and i wont be bringing this camera with me on all my dives on my trip in a few weeks time but im sure that when i have a few days practice with it snorkling i wlll use it while on a dive or 2
any ideas and advice
