Hello everybody,
I own a Canon EOS 50D and two lenses (60mm macro and EF-S 10-22) and I haven't made up my mind so far what would be the best price/quality solution for me - an u/w case for my DSLR or a new P&S camera with its own u/w casing.
Looking at the case for G10, the configuration is pretty straightforward:
- 6146.10 - case
- 6430.4 - wide angle conversion dome port
- 3944.51 - substrobe DS-51
If I got it right, and that's all I need for a functional system (besides the camera itself) to take wide-angle and macro pictures, the bhphoto.com price would be around $1,450.
On the other hand, if I'm looking at a case for my 50D, here is what I think I'd need in order to use both my lenses:
- 6870.50 - case
- 5502 - flat port for Canon 60mm macro
- 5503.50 - 6" dome for Canon 10-22
- 5510.45 - dome assembly (needed for 10-22)
- 5509.28 - zoom and clamp set (needed for 10-22)
- 5510.22 - 8" port dome for Canon 10-22
- 3944.51 - substrobe DS-51
Do I really need all three items (5510.45, 5509.28 and 5510.22) in order to use Canon EF-S 10-22, or do I need more items to be able to use both lenses and a strobe for macro and wide angle shots?
The BHPhoto prices for the above items is around $2,850.
Questions:
- Did I pick up the correct part numbers for both cameras?
- Do you think that the quality of the pictures taken by the G10 versus 50D with better optics would justify to pay twice as much?
- Do you think the DS-51 is enough for macro shots, or I should pick go either with DS-160 or two DS-51 strobes?
Thanks for your input!
