In theory...

[gecko2gecko]

So, theoretically, if a newbie (wannabe) photographer told you that they were getting a Canon a95, with a WP-DC50 housing and a 1-2GB CF memory card, what would you say? Comments? Criticisms? Additional recommendations?

TIA!!!

I'd say neat and enjoy.

LOL...I was hoping for a little more advice than that. But, now that you mention it, that is what I intend to do.

lol...If alcina were here I am sure she would tell you that you have made a good choice and have a bit more to say...Hope she comes back soon....sorry to say I know nothing about canons.

What I can suggest is, whatever camera you choose get a good photo processing program for touch ups. Most users here use a variation of Photoshop. I use PS Elements 3, and every now and then I still go for my PSE 2 (don't ask me why, habit I guess).
Also when DL'ing your pictures, store them in their own file by date - it will match your log perfectly and make searching easier. Also, when processing - don't save your processed work over your original. Save it in a new file as a processed version. Your original is like your negative - wouldn't want to lose it....and if you already knew all this....Well then, thanks for reading and good luck with your photography

One thing I would recomend, once you get your camera, is to take a course with a good photographer. Unless you can go diving every week with your camera and are really discaplined it can take a while to get great results. Having someone make you perform the correct procedures will give you a real head start in getting qulity images from every dive trip.

Good luck

Safe Diving

Well...if you wanted to sell me your 5050 setup I would head back to Destin and take that off your hands ASAP. If nothing else, we will definitely be back next summer if not sooner. I am still trying to find a 5050 setup but have had no luck. If I can't do that, I will be getting my a95 soon.

Thanks for all the advice... my husband would be more than willing to get a good Photoshop setup. He's been wanting one anyway...at least he was not too long ago. I will definitely have to become more organized once I start toying with pics and editing them.

As far as hooking up with a photographer for training, I'm pretty lucky. My husband has an uncle that lives about 15 minutes away that is a pretty good land photographer. I'm sure he will help me out as much as I need him to.

Thanks again!
