| Hi ,
I have just been through the same loop and have spend hours looking at the various models from mainly Canon, Fuji and Sea & Sea. In the end after many discussions at the Dive Show I purchased the Sea & Sea DX-1G. I spent many phone calls to many suppliers - especially Cameras Underwater and Alan James - the answers were ALWAYS different depending upon who you talked to.
what sold me in the end was a chat with a BSOUP guy at the Dive show who showed me the pics he had taken with the DX-1G - stunning.
At the end of the day I decided I wanted a flexible system which would allow manual, point & shoot, support strobes and wet lenses. The DX-1G does all of this. It also supports RAW mode and the housing has a max depth of 55m. Take a look at the spec - it is a very flexible camera. It supports wet lenses and two strobes if you so desire.
At the end of the day you have to put a stake in the ground, I think the DX-1G should keep me happy for a few years. For me is was as close as I could get to SLR functionality without the huge cost costs involved.
Give heather a ring at Alan James, you wont be disappointed.  |
