I’m leaving for a diving excursion to Australia next month, and after putting it off for some time I have realized it’s time to buy an UW camera. I am a novice in all aspects of photography, other than using my Olympus and HP digital point and shoots for everyday shots.
I have a budget of $1,000, and I want to get the best setup for that amount of money. Originally I was going to buy a SLR and add a strobe and housing and all the other goodies, but after actually researching the $$$ I realized it was WAY out of my budget. Then after talking with someone at my LDS I was going to go for the Sea&Sea package w/ a strobe, but the camera had horrendous lag between the push of the button and the actual execution of the picture, far worse than the 3 yr old el cheapo HP I have. Plus most of the scubaboard reviews have not been to kind to the Sealife’s and Sea&Sea’s.
The brand does not matter to me. I simply want the best bank for my buck.
Thanks all!
