I've just begun the process of searching for a digital camera and housing.
My initial budget is around $600 - $800. So far I have been looking at the following combinations:
1. Nikon Coolpix 4300 with Fantasea CP4 Pro housing
2. Canon S400 with DC800 housing
3. Olympus C750 with PT-018 housing
My goals for this purchase:
1. Find a solid digital camera that I can use on land and be happy with the scope of features. (I am a sometimes serious amatuer photographer. Current gear includes a Minolta 7xi with a myriad of lenses)
2. Find a digital camera and housing that would allow me to start the underwater photography adventure without the need to purchase external strobes etc.
3. Find a digital camera and housing that would allow me to add external strobes etc. as I get more serious about underwater photography
Any help you could provide, suggestions for other hardware, hardware to stay away from etc. would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
