I have a little Olympus F360 for messing about. It's super compact and takes ok pictures, but the pathetic battery life is really making my dives no fun. Basically after about 15 minutes, I have to conserve battery life heavily. That's uber lame. The battery on this thing is not much bigger than that on my cell phone, haha. This piece of poo basically doesn't make diving something I want to do, anymore.
So I want a new UW camera with a big, FAT battery.
And while I'm at it, heck, I might as well upgrade to something that is good for macro. After thinking about what I like most about diving (sitting in one place staring at stuff on rocks), I am quite excited about taking better macro pictures.
So a decent UW camera that is well liked for macro, can handle a UW strobe if I choose to get one (quite probable), and doesn't have a sissy battery. Recommendations? I would prefer a model that is not brand new, that the UW photography crowd has had time to beat around and evaluate. A good, solid camera system that is well suited for macro work.
