I can't fathom how anyone that isn't a professional can actually afford a decent underwater DSLR setup nowadays. The prices of the cameras themselves aren't too bad, but the prices of the strobes and housings are astronomical. How can manufactures justify charging 3 - 4 times the cost of the camera, just for the housing??? Seriously??? And to top it off, if your camera breaks, your $3000 housing may just end up being a paperweight once the camera model becomes discontinued / obsolete. The average joe just can't win anymore...
Actually it's more difficult to understand how pro photographers CAN afford the latest and greatest the way rates have dropped. Nowadays pros are competing with amateurs who have lots of disposable income and are willing to work for a credit.
And please
