My husband took this shot of this rare 1/2" nudibranch in Maui with his Canon T2i and 60mm macro lens a couple of days ago. I'm continuously amazed at what a huge difference between the DSLR and P&S is! No regrets at spending the money on the upgrade.
I have that set up as well and am impressed with the IQ and the speed of focus. I am also a big fan of the Tokina 10-17 for WA. It has a really nice DOF even fairly wide open which makes it easy to get decent detail for WA shots.
We have a Sea&Sea housing and really like it. Bought everything (except camera and one strobe) though a SB member who is a dealer, Jack Connick at Optical Ocean Sales.
Life is short. Break the rules, forgive quickly, kiss slowly, love deeply, laugh uncontrollably, and never regret anything that makes you smile.
Not everyone who reads SB is looking to learn how best to use their new snorkel. Some are here just hoping to get the chance to tell someone else exactly what they can do with their new snorkel. While others are trying to sell their old snorkel. (gypsyjim)
I think the T2i is the ideal UW DSLR based on size, sensor, and excellent lens availability. The exception would be if your were shooting only available light then a full frame would be better but way more expensive. The Sea and Sea housing looks nice. I have a Watershot that is no longer made but it is a tank! I use two Inon S2000 strobes which provide a ton of light for their size. They are easy to travel with due to their small size.
I agree, for the money, a T2i is an amazing tool. Sea and sea or Aquatica, Ikelite just gotta pick your price point. the Tokina 10 - 17 is also a great lens for the money.
If you can, pick up some kind of video light like a sola 2000 and shoot some video with it. You will be impressed with as well.
