I managed to flood my Sea & Sea DX-1G camera and housing while in a rinse tank on a dive trip to Cozumel. I sent the the camera and housing to reef video and the camera to see of either item was repairable.

The camera was not repairable, but the housing tested OK. When I bought the camera and housing, I got two YS-01 strobes to go with it.

Since they don't make the camera anymore and I am not terribly enthused about continuing to use the housing even if I was to find a DX-1G to put in it, what do I do next?

I would like to find a "non-Sea & Sea" replacement camera/housing that would be able to accommodate the TTL strobes.

Any thoughts/suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks
 
Check this chart it gives you the cameras compatible with your strobes in TTL

Note that some of the olympus cameras are NOT compatible

Thanks. I am looking at a Canon G12 with a WP-DC34 housing. They are both on the list, so this may all work out in the end. This is the last time I put a camera in a rinse tank on a boat!!

Be aware that although the G12 is a great camera for macro there are no wide angle lenses that can be used with the canon housing
In general the G series offers little or no choice of wet angle lenses depending on the housing
If all you plan to shoot is macro no worries
