Help with initial setup
Hey everyone, hope all is well. I' have a couple diving trips coming up in 2025 and thought it was time for me to upgrade from my old go pro. I currently have a Sony RX100 iii that I enjoy using when i travel and I was hoping to convert this into an underwater setup for still photography. I just had a couple questions.
First, is this a decent camera to shoot underwater with? I'm not expecting world class photos, just something fun to do while diving, but at the same time I don't want to dump money into it if the results are going to be sub par.
Second, I understand strobe lights are best, but would a film light get me by for a bit? I have a nice light I use with my gopro to help with the color, and was wondering if this would also work for stills.
And finally, I understand I have an old camera, so if anyone has any recommendations for where to purchase an underwater housing for this camera, I'm all ears.
Thanks so much! Really appreciate any and all help/advice.
