I'm getting ready to order my first underwater digital camera and started thinking about one other factor in my decision. I've ABOUT convinced myself UNLESS someone on here talks me out of it for a better choice, to purchase the Fuji E900 with Ikelite housing. But if I'm not mistaken the Fuji takes Regular AA batteries and the Canon comes with a rechargeable battery pack. Which set up is better? I've read one post that states AA batteries will only last one dive as opposed to 3 or more with rechargeable. Although it may be true one dive on a set of batteries seems exagerated a bit. Any thoughts on the camera or batter options would be appreciated. Also looking at the accessories for the Ikelite housing, the Lens adapter comes with a flash diffuser, when taking UW photos would you want the flash diffuser on most shots regardless of whether your using a wide angle or macro lens? Just wondering if I should buy it just for the diffuser until I save enough to buy the additional lenses
Thanks
