I've been diving for decades but have never bothered with a camera. They always seemed so bulky and unwieldy. That view was somewhat confirmed on a recent live aboard trip by a three person crew from Sea & Sea that was testing a dozen or so high end cameras and housings. Way too many buttons for me.
However, after seeing some of the nice snapshots taken by fellow divers on that same live aboard trip I'm having second thoughts.
I'm not interested in taking great photos, but in preserving some memories. (My avatar photo is the sort of thing I have in mind.)
I've read this article, Best Underwater Point & Shoot Cameras for 2010, which was well written and informative.
I have a couple of spare Canon A1000/A1100 digital point-and-shoot cameras and was wondering if the Ikelite housing for that series of cameras would be a good fit for me; at least to start out with. It would involve a minimum investment and make use of some equipment that I already have.
Thoughts either way are appreciated.
TIA
