So, some of you may remember me asking about SLR cameras, and you were all very helpful then. Now, I'm having second thoughts about getting an SLR just yet, mainly because of the cost, bulk, and never ending equipment options. The price, in conjunction with me not really wanting to lug around a big SLR unit, joined with the idea that such a pricey and large unit may turn photography into too much of a commitment for me is really making me rethink this. On the other hand, I look around this board and there are so many awesome photographers and photos and i want to be a part of it.
I love taking pictures while i'm diving, but i also love just cruising around. Having such a setup makes me think that any photography opportunity missed, would be taking it all for granted. Don't get me wrong, i really enjoy coming home from a day of diving and checking out the "fruits of the flash" and picking out my favorites, showing them to friends, and figuring out what could be done differently in the future. sometimes i take my little camera with me and take it out only a few times on a dive, and other times i never put it down. I want to dive with a camera, not for my camera.
Point being, i need a camera that will be able to support my desire to take pictures efficiently and have a high potential for quality pictures. i was thinking along the lines of an SP-350. It is not too big, not too pricey, and has the option of additional lenses. Anyone have advice or thoughts on this camera and the like? thanks, i hope i wasn't too schizophrenic.
