Hi there.
I'm a beginner photographer who would like to shoot some diving videos.
I recently bought a Canon G9x II- a tiny but pretty sweet little camera.
I also wish to dabble in a little video, especially for my trip to Comodo and, hopefully, Sipadan.
The natural choice for video seems to be a GoPro, with the Hero 7 Black offering a very good price to quality ratio.
But would my G9x, in a simple underwater case like Ikelite, be able to shoot videos that are just as/almost as good?
From what I understand, the pros of each device are:
GoPro:
Simplicity- easy to use underwater
Toughness
Fewer things can go wrong
Better video (?)
Slightly smaller underwater
Camera:
Will be able to shoot stills
A case is cheaper than a GoPro plus batteries and accessories
Will save room and weight in my (minimalist) bag, as I plan to take it in any case (no pun intended)
I will be happy for any input on this matter.
Cheers
