Hi all, I am looking to get one of the Canon powershot series cameras for shallow underwater photography, more for my fly fishing outings than diving actually (though it would be great for my rare diving outings as well). It looks like there are some very experienced users on this forum who have used these setups.
So I have read here that the new powershot S100 has messed things up for underwater photography because of its 5x zoom, and therefore we won't be getting a Fisheye Fix housing for it most likely?
So if the above is true, that leads me to the S90 with the Fisheye Fix S90 housing, or the S95 with its housing, which sounds to be made by Fix as well but is called a RecSea? I read in one post about the S95 that a member said something along the lines of "you missed the best setup with the S90 and the Fix S90 housing"......
If some of you would mind laying out for me the pros and cons of my options here of the different cameras and their housings I would greatly appreciate. If it helps, I think I will mostly just want to be doing wide angle stuff, so with the UWL-04 lens it sounds like? Does this require adapters? Anyways, won't be looking to get setup with strobes, specialty adapters and lenses, etc...just want to keep it simple!
Thanks so much all -Loren Elliott
