Hello,
I was looking over the posts and some are old and some are new. didn't know if I should start my own post or try and find one that has what I'm looking for. if I shouldn't start a new post you are welcome to point me in the right direction and I guess I can delete this one.
Basic questions and comments:
I have used various film and digital Canon cameras for many years. I now would like to get started in underwater photos.
what would be a good starter camera to take point and shoot photos?
can I find a good "last year's model" or older model that someone is trading up from and good for me?
what is the general price I should expect to pay to take simple photos. I have no immediate plans to get photoshop and spend hours playing with my photos. I will at best crop my photos and simple stuff.
simple attachments? strobe? video light? housing?
Honestly don't know if I will stay with this. My son got me a GoPro for my birthday and used it on my last dive. I could not get a good photo but got great video. my plans are that if I go on a week dive trip I would probably (at least at first, my intention) only take it on a few dives. not each and every dive. mostly the more shallow dives that have better light.
As always, if I did not ask an important question or missed an important point. please let me know.
simply put. if you could do it all over again. which camera would you get and why?
Thanks
Jeff
