greetings all...
I have an FS3 which is my P/S camera and have looked around for the underwater housing, which i found quickly then hit the floor when i saw the aussie price...
$430AUD.
which i think is almost twice what i paid for the camera. it seems that most of the panasonic housings are just as expensive as well...
I'm happy to pay the price if the camera will take good shots, (and yes i know cameras don't take good shots, people do, but it's a bit hard when you have a weak flash and poor sensor processing) but I'm at the moment struggling to believe I will be happy with the results for the $$ outlay.
so i guess my questions are 2 fold. 1. will i be happy with the results, 2. is there anywhere cheaper to aquire the cases... i have seen some on ebay which all up come to just over $300AUD... I'm not a huge fan of ebay, but if it comes to it i will buy it from there.
the other concern is that i buy the casing and the camera packs it in after 6 months... it's been around the world and dropped once (that i can recall) which is something else playing on my mind.
it's just a pity i can in no way afford a case for my D90 at US$1400++ that's just out of my league at the moment.
