Hi,
I'm off on my first O/S diving trip in 12 weeks and would LOVE to have an UW camera to take with me. I've done a bit of research and lots of reading on here and am really confused as to what I actually need.
I'm not an expert photographer by any means and don't really understand f-stops, shutter speeds etc and how they all correlate. With this is mind, am I still better off going for something like the Oly 5050 b/c everyone seems to rave about it or something like the Sea & Sea DX3000 which I believe is more a 'compact' digitial camera.
What I like about the DX3000 is the macro capability - down to 1cm and you can screw on a wide-angle lens underwater. Can you do this with the 5050? What is the macro capabilities of the 5050 like?
Anyone with advice and suggestions as to what you think the best camera for me would be, is greatly appreiciated
Thanks!
Mel
