Hey divers,
I'm thinking about replacing my compact equipment and aquire a DSLR instead, and an oportunity arrived, but since I never use DSLR UW before I would like your opinion (especially regarding compatibility and camera quality).
What I have right now is:
RX-100
Ikelite Housing + base
Ikelite W-30 wet lens
Two YS-D1 strobes, one of it has its sync port broken (accident, long time ago), so I can only use optic cable.
What I was offered (the guy selling it to me will accept my camera+housing+lens as part of the payment)
Used Ti1 with 5000 clicks
Ti1 default lens with a adaptor and dome for it.
Tokina 10-17mm + adaptor + port (which will arrive a bit later)
Fiber optic converter (Ikelite | Fiber Optic Converter for SEA&SEA / Nauticam LED Triggers)
Ikelite Housing for Ti1 + base.
Is this a decent upgrade? I know T1i is a bit old by now, but I'm almost sure that the body's will still be available for the next 4~5 years (or am I wrong?)
Will I be able to use my two YS-D1 with that setup? I imagined plugging one of the optic cables into the converter, and another one connecting one YS-D1 to the other. Is that correct?
Rx-100 is a great camera, however I'm a bit disapointed with the flash reclycle time. Anyone here had any issue with recycle time for the Ti1? Or any complaint at all?
Ikelte housing for the Rx-100 is awful, usability is terrible. I've heard that the DSLR housings are better. Is this true?
Thanks for those who're willing to share options/experiences with me.
