Hello! I am planning to buy a strobe for my canon A75 in canon housing. I have no plans of upgrading to a DSLR or nikonos system. Perhaps I would be upgrading to a Canon G9 in canon housing in the near future. So I would be staying with fiber optic cables. I prefer manual settings and I would not want to use the flash auto functions or TTL. I would just like to ask for your suggestions.. should I buy the YS-27 DX or the D-2000W? and one more thing, I am planning to buy a nice but cheap fiber optic cable and DIY mount it to the strobe and camera. I know how to easily attach the cable to my strobe but.. Can you teach me how to attach the cable to the camera housing? Thanks!
Inon D2000W or Sea & Sea YS-27 DX

thanks for the link! by the way, have you ever tried buying from this online store? how was their service in terms of shipping and quality of item? i have had bad experiences with leisurepro (they sent me a dive torch which has a broken o-ring) and it was much of a hassle and too expensive to send the item back. and i was just wondering, how much did you pay for customs tax? thanks!

Well I was going to until I saw what their shipping charge was. So I don't really have any experience with them. But I noticed that some other ScubaBoarders have these cables and I think they are only available from this company.
To be honest, I use the plastic bit from the FO cable kit that comes with the SeaLife digital strobe to hook up (stick on) to the uw case. It doesn't have the mask..but I do have tape
There is no comparison between the 2 strobes you mentioned.....the Inon is way more strobe than the YS27. Look here for a side-by-side comparison (check the 2 and press the compare button):

Fiber optic cables are available in the US. I couldn't find 10Bar on Reef Photo's website but I am pretty sure that they carry them. You may have to e-mail & ask.
