Hi,
I am planning to purchase a strobe and thinking of getting a Sea&Sea D1 but then I went to the store and saw a customer purchasing a sola light 1200 with red light and now I cannot decided which one to buy. I like the sola light it is small and has red light that would help with the photo. The size is important to me as I will to travel lite. I like to take macro picture and sometime wide angle. I have the Sony Nex 5 and Canon G12. I only have the money to buy either the Sea and sea D1 or the Sola light.
Which one would be the best buy for me. Will the sola light be as effective as the conventional strobe for picture. Is it true that the redlight can reduce back scattered? Please advice what is the pro and cons between the two. Btw is 1200 an overkill?I am afraid of pissing-off any fish and encourage aggressive behavior because my torch was on them.
