Hi :fruit:
My name is Gabi for short (aka Gabrielle). I'm a complete marine biology
... I wish I had gills, but I don't ... now I just want to be able to document my underwater experiences so that I have something to daydream about in between dive vacations!
I have an older Sea & Sea (film) that I'd like to retire (for obvious reasons) ... my question to everyone/anyone is how to proceed down the u/w digital path w/ not so much fund-age on hand? I really like the little critters (macro), so that will be more important to me than wide angle, but I would like to have the ability to do BOTH (mantas & whale sharks).
I currently have a Canon G10 (point & shoot) and a Canon t2i (w/ a few different lenses).
My thoughts were:
1) get a housing for the G10 (recommendations on manuf?) and find a way to attach
& sync my one external strobe (forget what type) ...will I be able to get decent
macros w/ this camera and ONE strobe?
2) save up and buy a Sealife DC100 or DC1200 w/ an external strobe/flash OR
save up and buy a Sea & Sea DX-1G or DX-2G? Any preference or recommendation
from anyone on one or the other?
3) head-in-the-clouds thought ... get a housing for the t2i w/ strobes, etc ...
don't think I'll be able to afford this for quite a while ... esp after I pay for my
plane ticket, etc.
Thanks in advance anyone & everyone!
