Thanks for the advice on S-90

[Altamira]

I want to thank all of the contributors that have answered my and many other's questions over the past couple of months concerning the S-90, housings, shooting tips, etc. After reading most of the posts in this forum, I finally decided on the S-90 with Ikelite housing and used it for the first time on a recent dive trip to Bonaire. Although my photos are just basic "memory" shots, I was pleased with the results from my first attempt at UW photography and had fun in the process. So all is well. I shot RAW, using AV, and concentrated on shooting landscapes in ambient light. I did get shots of some fish, but was not proficient enough with the camera to get any really good closeups of the wildlife. I was amazed at the difference between the pre and post editing of the RAW photos and am grateful to those of you that stressed getting a camera that shoots RAW. Next trip in November, I will try to concentrate on getting some better wildlife and macro shots. Also, thanks for the advice to hold off on getting the strobes until more confortable UW with the camera. Handling strobes while trying to haul my wife's and my tank in and out of the water on the shore dives would have been a disaster.
Thanks again to all.

Great to hear that. I'm going to purchase the housing for my family's dusty s90 too.

This is a good housing, but, just be aware that the port can be unscrewed. Look at the recent posting about this. In normal use, no, it won't happen. But if you screw on a wide angle adapter, and over tighten it, beware. When you attempt to unscrew the adapter, the port may back out instead. See the thread on this to understand the problem and the workarounds.
