SO I pulled the trigger and bought the s95 and here's why:
1. They fixed the free spinning wheel on the back
2. They added 720p video (for on land)
3. My wife is thrilled that I don't have to carry around my dSLR's and all the lenses and flashes when all we need is a snapshot.
4. It meets my basic specs for all cameras (Raw, good iso range and decent lens)
I bought the WP-DC38 as well. I was looking at the ikelite version, but when I was ordering I couldn't find it in stock at my preferred vendors, and I needed it by a certain date. I realize that this may end up being a compromise, but it was one I needed to take. I'm fine with it for now and I have flood insurance so if the worst happens I'll upgrade then.
My next purchase is a handle and strobe and am looking for advice and recommendation. I will buy 1 in the next month or so and add a second shortly after.
One of my stipulations on the strobes is that I be able to use them with my higher end cameras as well (50D and 5dMII). I'm looking for your recommendations
Finally I am interested in adding the ability to use wet lenses on my s95, is this possible what are the things I need to purchase in order to get this functionality on the DC38. I believe I need to start with something like the inon 28AD mount base, but not sure if there are other items i will need from canon or if there is a better system out there for me.
Thanks for being patient with me as I am converting from land to water photography
