Can anyone recommend a decent underwater housing and camera that are available for <=$1,000 or better yet ~$500? I'm seriously into above water photography and I have tons of gear including a 5D MKII, lights, lenses, etc. etc. but I'm shocked and appalled at the cost of a plastic box to take it under water. Seems like the cheapest one is about $1500 and then many people in the know are telling me that I won't get results I'm happy with if I don't invest hundreds if not thousands more in lights. I'm not interested in doing that at this time so I guess a smalller compact camera and housing is the way to go. Can anyone recommend one? I have a Nikon AW100 but it's only good to 10 m and I've quickly figured out that is completely and utterly useless for diving.
Any advice appreciated. Basically I'm interested in the best results I can get for <=$1000 total cost. I'm a very advanced photographer so there is no need for it to be yielding great results with just point and click I operation. I understand white balance, depth of field, the consequences of shutter speed and aperture, the need for filters, etc. etc. etc. So if there is something that has higher quality in exchange for being not idiot friendly I'm definitely interested.
The gopro with back scatter housing advertised all over this site looks intriguing and affordable but I want to make decent stills as much or more than just video so I don't think I want to buy that now either.
Thanks.
