Wildcard:Just ordered a 5060 for $378, new and a housing for $195....Hope it's all y'all tell me it is!
Best strobe to go with this?
I just bought the c-5060 and the pt-20 on ebay. the cam was about $670 and came with wide angle and telephoto lens, filters, carry case, large and small tripod, and sone other stuff, it was a good deal. the pt-20 was about $180. I havent used it yet underwater but it takes great photos and i am especially impressed with the super macro mode. i think this would be your best choice.mariov:Hey guys
Probably a million people would have asked the same question so i do apologise in advace.
I am on the process of buying a digital camera for everyday use plus diving.
After few discussions a lot of people have recommended teh C-5050 or C-5060 . I dont know much about cameras and its not a cheap option ($1500 with PT-20 case) i wanna make sure its a good camera.
Any recommendations or suggestions?
