Is the Sealife dc1400 light worth it?

[kayakguy]

Hey we are headed to Bonaire again in a week and are thinking of picking up our first camera after a few years of diving.

My question is as new photogs is the extra $300 for the light and flash combo worth it? Would we be just as happy with only the flash? Is the light primarily for video?

Obviously we have a lot to learn, but you got to start somewhere.

Thanks in advance

Actually, the video is GOOD, but the stills are pretty amazing considering it's not a DSLR. For $500 or less, I don't believe there is a better camera to be bought. It's either in your budget or not though.

I appreciate the reply Superlyte. I realize my post wasn't too clear. They have a pro set with the flash for $799 and the pro duo set with the flash and the light for $1099.

I am wondering if I should spend the extra $300 for the light or stick with just the flash.

You won't regret getting both the flash and video light combination. My friend has both and they are very versatile and certainly, with experience, make your stills and video that much better.
