Right, I've done it now! Bought myself a clearance Canon A540 as its discontinued, with the Ikelite case for it, for $300 all in. Seemed a reasonable deal, and more affordable than what I was going to have to pay out for a G10... especially as its a second camera as I can't get an underwater case for my Panasonic camera.
Anyhow, as this is my "starter" camera, to try and get used to underwater photography - are there any strobe recommendations for this? I'm looking for something I can maybe pick up cheap on ebay or second hand, but that might well be suitable in a year or so when I upgrade my whole camera (both my pana and this canon will be replaced with ONE single camera at that point...)
And then any tips for how to get started? I'm planning on doing a few more dives before I take the camera out even, as I'm still a beginner, so I want at least 10 or so dives under my belt before I try to add a camera into the mix!! But tips as to settings?
Thanks!
