Hi everyone,
I have a Canon G15 with the Canon underwater housing (WP-DC48) and been using G-series for some time now. I am now considering either to mount the wide angel lens (wet len) on top of the WP-DC48 or upgrade my Camera to Canon 7D with Ikelite housing. Canon 7D's price has come down a lot so if I purchase 7D, I will get one macro lens and one fish eye lens, and purchase the ikelite housing as this seems like the cheapest housing for Canon 7D. But I don't have a budget for strobes so won't mount the strobes on Canon 7D.
I mainly love to shoot Pelagics like sharks, mantas, and occasionally whale shark. Do you think without the strobes, should I really upgrad my camera to 7D and invest in the lenses, housing? Without the strobes, can I really take a good photo of Pelagics underwater with 7D? Or should I stick with G15 and buy the wet lens to shoot Pelagics?
I have never owned SLR so I am a bit confused...
Thanks and cheers,
Mimi
