I'm not an avid underwater photographer, but I do like to preserve a few memories. For the past year I've been using a Canon PowerShot A1000 in an Ikelite housing with no external flash.
The photos are OK and identifying subjects after the fact is a good exercise in creature ID.
However, I can't help but wonder if a better camera might result in better shots; especially of more distant subjects and more difficult lighting situations. Even if I get a better camera, I'll stick with no external flash simply because I don't want to be burdened with the extra gear.
I'm thinking of a Canon S100 with an Ikelite housing.
Some recent photos with my current configuration are here:
Out and About Thailand: Diving: Koh Losin, Koh Kra and Hin Bai (Sail Rock)
Granted, not great photography, but may be all I need for preserving the memories.
