I am a vacation diver who has been using a Canon G10 with the Canon housing for the last few years. Last year I bought a Sealife Sea Dragon SL 963 from Cathy Church's store in Grand Cayman. I was told it would work fine with any camera I upgraded to.
Well my Canon G10, no longer zooms and there is a tiny scratch on the lens so I am ready to upgrade.
I have done some research and contacted Cathy Church's store to see what they recommend. My budget is $1000-1200 ish. They recommended the Olympus TG-4 or the Olympus EPL7. I was leaning to spending the extra for the EPL7, but then they said the Sealife strobe would not work well with that. Which kind of irritated me as when I bought it they said it would work fine with anything I upgraded to. I am not going to buy a new strobe when I have only used that one for 1 dive.
I also need this camera to be a good land and underwater camera.
Why would my Sealife not work with the EPL7?
So my other questions, should I go with the EPL7, TG-4, or the Canon G7x or G9x?
Or something I haven't looked in to.
Thanks for any help!!
