Bit of history here for background. I bought my wife a used DC1400 system. She hated it. I bought a brand new DC2000 system with flashes and video lights. She wouldn’t even look at it. The wife is gone so I figured I’d try it. I liked it enough that I decided to take a class. I learned how to shoot in manual, control different settings, and proper strobe position. Cool, right? Now I’m looking to upgrade to a camera that I can shoot in manual with and can add lighting and accessories as needed. I feel like the Sealife is limited to what is in my case now, especially given that it has been discontinued.
I don’t want to take out a second mortgage for a system. I do want to be able to continue shooting in manual which rules out the TG series cameras. I’d like something versatile and less proprietary with regards to adding lighting etc. Eventually I’ll learn how to work with images saved in RAW format so I think that would be a good option. I’d also need something that has a housing rated to at least 200’ for trips to Bikini Atoll next year and Truk the following year with other trips mixed in.
Thoughts?
