Working backwards.

[whacky]

My camera is getting on a bit I'd really like a DSLR but real life gets in the way of the DSLR fund.

Prompted by some comments on Tazzies thread and knowing Martin is just as happy to help a compact user as a DSLR user it got me to thinking.

My compact is getting on a bit i have no lenses for it as when it was in its hey done there was no adapters for it although now i believe epoque do a suitable adapter. That leaves me with my sea & sea YS-110 strobe.

If i was to conceed defeat and look at a compact the ys-110 should be the starting point working from there to a suitable housing/camera combo then onto lenses. Or should i just go for some external lenses.

In all it feels like a bit of a crossroads in my photography journey I am achieving good results in all with what i have and the next purchase will probabably determine the next few years worth of photography. I guess what i'm trying to say is investing a big lump of cash into anothe compact or move onto DSLR.

I been babbling on about this for a while most will be bored of my ramblings but i thought the discussion is a good one. A compact is undoubtedly a great way into uw photography but when you start to look at upgrades then to me it's a different kettle of fish.

For me I am probably looking at second hand DSLR or a newer new compact with some lenses.

Borrow mine and if you like it, buy it!!

I need to pay for the Hugyfot somehow!



Seriously though, mine is sitting here doing nothing waiting for someone to buy it. If you want, we can meet and I will talk you through the kit and you can borrow it. If you don't like it, we can meet up and you can give it back.
