underwater camera decision...

[bermynate6]

Hey i was woundering if anyone can help me decide on an uw camera system 4 myself. I dive a lot in Bermuda, about 40-60 dives per year so its gonna get a lot of use. I used to have a A570 cannon camera with an uw case no flash until it fell into snow so now i need a new camera...

I want t buy a new uw camera system with flash for a good price (im a broke collage kid, something under 1800 dollars for the whole system), with a very good picture quality, yet fairly simple to use. Ive looked at the sealife and Sea&sea cameras though im a lil weary bout their image quality. Ive also looked at adding a Elph cannon camera wit Ikelite case/ AF35flash but i dunno any ideas????

Why don't you just hop on eBay and get a new 570IS?

Don't use your underwater camera as a universal camera or you might wind up with a 1,000 dollars housing or more and no camera to go in it.

Some people will go to any expense to save a dollar.

yea totally agree with that, i bought a SD1100 camera for everyday use and plan on getting another camera...my cannon case 4 the A570 has a broken o-ring and im feeling more like starting over with the little cash that i have saved up the last couple months

and thanks 4 the review website...im thinking of prob getting one of the Sea&sea cameras, r they any good in terms of picture quality??
