Ive tried searching but still cant find the information and opinions that I was looking for so posting my own (certainly repeated) thread is where I am. Looking for Camera/housing and perhaps a strobe - all dependant on price.
Suggested budget for all is about $700 CDN
I am looking for a Point and Shoot which I can use above and below water
Im not picky on brand
Im not an advanced enough photographer to make use of the advanced feature so shots U/W will be in auto, while I will use some different feature above water while learning the camera Maybe then ill feel more confident to burn some air and time fiddling with features to change for a shot
I looked a G9+WP-DC21 (because an Ikelite is just too expensive) but dont know about the flash options with this camera - it has a hotshoe for above water photos, but I dont know about strobe for underwater shots. One thing I really like about this camera (I think) is the ability to keep it as a P/S but add filters and fisheye or wide angle lenses - but I may be wrong here
I was also looking at Sealife/Sea and Sea/Bonica underwater cameras, but I dont find these to be as appealing in any way except the price.
Can anybody give me some direction or suggestions? Am I missing something obvious?
