What Do You Plan On Spending Money on This Year?

[Spoon]

Cheeky!!!!!

Spoon: yes HD costs an f'in fortune!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And i am not bringin mine to PI....too heavy

I can quite tel the difference but is it worth the astronomical costs? also how large is the smallest hd camera you can get? what brands im curious

 

[Mike Veitch]

The small 1 chips are very small and not bad in cost, you can get fully set up for probably 3K. Thats the Sony HC1

Dave is looking into what i have, the Sony Z1/FX,$3500 or $4500 for the Z. The housings are about $7k retail.....

Then the lights... another $4K...... ouch!

My Amphibico in the box without the camera is 53 pounds.....
With camera in it and in dive mode is about 38 pounds i think....but is completely neutral in the water....


Yes.. i am still paying off my visa bill!

since we just got all our gear last yr the only thing we need

1. lights (night diving this year)
2. boat ( hopefully my hubby stays of this thread since i haven't officially told him yes yet.)
3. dry suits (but this is mostly next year if we get #2)

kids even will give up their vacation this year to get #2......we were planning on a cruise but would rather the boat if we can afford it.
