After much research and reading a ton of posts on this board (thanks by the way, the info has been a huge help), I am almost at a decision but am still missing a few pieces.
Here is my scenario: experienced photographer and snorkeler, just started combning the two on small disposable cameras. I am now getting Scuba certified, need a new digital anyways so thought it would be a good chance to combine the two.
After reading all the info on these boards, the Canon A80 looks like a great fit, and I have found a bundle in the internet that includes filters, wide angle, telephoto etc for land based use. I am thinking that the Canon housing makes sense.... now here are the confusing points:
1) I know that I will end up getting a strobe (... if not before Freeport in July certainly before Cozumel in September), but even after reviewing this board and various other sources I am still confused about what strobe will actually work for this config and not cost a fortune. Any guidance would be great.
2) I have read that some housings have ports that allow you to add wide angle or telephoto... can this be done with the canon housing (if not is there a good alternate), and secondly, and the UW lenses different from land based?
Thanks so much for your help.
