So I am thinking about getting into the deep end of the underwater photography pool and going from a compact camera to a full rig... Nikon D800, Nauticam housing with two Ikelite strobes. My questions are for everyone but especially for those who made that kind of upgrade:
Do you ever feel encumbered with so much camera?
Is it easy to move it around in the water, say if you are swimming against some current with a DSLR and strobes?
I feel I've outgrown my slow-response digital camera, even though I have throroughly enjoyed it over the years. One positive about it is how small the thing is... but there is the slowness and the lower resolution.
I plan to get the Nikon regardless for topside use but the investment in strobs and housing is pretty big.
Your thoughts would be appreciated!
