OK, I have been enjoying diving and now want to take some pictures of my experiences. I
have never owned a "nice" camera and thought maybe buying a Nikon D-70s so that I could enjoy taking pictures on land and on sea. Then I looked at housings. OUCH. I'm basically seeing about 2k-3k for housing and strobe. Does that sound about right? Now Im back tracking and looking at maybe a Sea&Sea DX-8000G. Now that isn't cheap but it isn't 4k (with camera + lens etc) that the Nikon D-70s would be. Any suggestions about a cheaper alternative would be appreciated. I even thought about a used system from someone upgrading but where do I go to find these? Any helpful hints, suggestions or pointers would be greatly appreciated and I thank all of you in advance that offer such.
