Interceptor121,
Maybe you should actually USE and shoot a Canon SL1 with various lenses UW before you claim things as absolutes...........
Web site images never look as great as they might in print or on various monitors.........Too many photographers study brick wall photos, corner 100% crops and decide on a camera / lens choice that way..........
In my old age I like to think I'm open to new changes and technology..............Today digital UW photographers are simply duplicating what has already been shot UW decades ago........Very little new images but because it's new to them it MUST be the BEST and great............
Please.................I beg to differ...............
As I've posted in these debates maybe we'll meet and dive and debate UW photography one day...............Then laugh at how each of us (that would be me too) was passionately insistent on our choices...........
I know people shooting (as you may still have) a lowly Canon S90 /95 /100 / 110 and 120 with minimal accessories in a lowly plastic Ikelite housing and produce wonderful images THEY like to show and share.......I know others who absolutely won't shoot without a Canon 5D MKIII or Nikon D800..............To each his own.........
I just wish you'd stop posting in absolutes as some camera / housing / flash / etc. is the "BEST"..............It's like arguments of where the "BEST" diving is.........
For me any ocean is the "BEST" as I delight in spending time below the waves.........Photography now is a supplemental JOY to capture and show people why we dive............Maybe that's the difference in all these debates.........
You're in earlier years of diving and photographing (less than 20 years?)...............I'm closing 45 years and have come full circle to make it simple and fun and not a chore...........
99% of the people I sell Ikelite equipment to want the same.........To enjoy themselves.............
Good luck and I'll do my typical Australian style "Walkabout" now leaving those who wish to go on debating and arguing and criticizing
Safe Diving,
David Haas
