Strobe Selection for SP-320

[jamiep3]

I have a Olympus SP-320 with the PT-030 housing. First I have to say, I've gotten more keepers with this camera than I ever did with my Nikonos. Looking at adding a strobe now. Have narrowed it down to a Sea & sea YS-110 or YS-27DX. Since I don't believe the camera will suppport DS/TTL (Let me know if I'm reading this wrong), I'm leaning toward the YS-27. For the price difference, I don't think the YS-110 is that much of an advantage for my set up. On the other hand, I do keep looking for a deal on an SP-350, which could put the TTL back in play.

I'm running in circles, anybody out there have input it is more than welcome

The YS-110 would let you grow more into a better camera down the road. The YS-27DX is certainly adequate for close up stuff with your current camera. You are correct in observing that the SP-320 is not TTL capable. You need a hotshoe for that. On the other hand TTL isn't essential for obtaining good photos.

There are SP-350's around still. I noticed that the CostCo at 7311 N. Melvina, Niles, IL (847-972-3000) had a half dozen out just this evening, for $200.00 each.
