Hey,
I am a totally newbie in this field, so any inputs will be appreciated.
I plan to get into UW photography arena. Yahoo!!!
My sister has Olympus 4040 (as I remember. Please let me know if there are any other models in 4 mega level) and she didnt use it anymore due to its bulky design. Yes, she likes a compact and handy design. So, I am thinking to get her camera for my UW usage.
Do you think it is a good start? I know that this camera has been released almost 4 years ago. I am not sure if this camera was regarded as an obsolete one? Nothing is free, so if I get hers, I need to pay for it no matter what she uses it or not.
If it is ok, what housing do you recommend? Based on my research, many people use either PT-010 or Ikalite, maybe Tetra?
How about the wide angle lenses?
If I had better have the new set, which camera do you recommend for the non-professional photographer? I prefer the versatile and non bulky design that can be used on land. Currently, I have Nikon Coolpix 3500 that is a kind of odd design.
Thanks in advance,
