Hello all,
I'm looking at buying my first underwater camera. I've done a little research on this site, but most threads were started by divers with limited diving experience. I've been diving for over 20 years now, I've got bouyancy and trim down pretty well.
I've looked at all the major brands and so far I like the Sea & Sea DX-1200 because of its price, high mega pixel count and design of its housing.
I'm thinking of just buying the camera at first and buying a strobe after I get used to it.
I dive only in tropical waters. Most of my pictures will be in 30 feet or less of water to start out with. Top side pictures are also very important as this camera will be the primary camera for my wife and I, even when not diving.
Is the DX-1200 good bang for the buck, especially for a new underwater photographer? Is there a better deal that I'm missing?
Thanks in advance.
