A simple question with a very complicated answer which never actually gets answered.
I am new to this forum - your patience is appreciated.
What housing should I get with an canon S100? (should I get an s100? or s95 good enough)
Let me tell you a bit about me so you have a better understanding of me and my needs.
As far as photo taking is considered - I have never owned a camera - other than the one that came with my $30 Samsung phone.
However - I purchase things and grow with them.
A good example would be my purchase of UWATEC Tech 2G when I started diving three years ago. I didn't even have a complete understanding of Nitrox and did not know why someone would even use 80%-100% O2!
Now I use my UWATEC - to dive regular air dives, nitrox and even Deco Dives while using two tanks (Stage) with two different mixes.
So I purchase something and grow with it.
Like I said, I am no photographer (YET!) but have come to the understanding that I can get the S100 *have been pondering since s95* and I will grow with the camera - it can be a simple point and shoot right now until i learn what an f stop is and how to correctly spell apreture and other fractions and what not and other advanced skills and knowledge that I lack
I know there are multiple option from Canon Housing, Ikelite, Fisheye FIX, Recsea and even Patima (which is a cool and raw looking)
The thing is - what is the diff? Should I spend $200 on an inhouse Canon or $800 for Fisheye Patima - is it really worth it?
What about all these lenses? Dry/wet all different kinds of ways to hook them up.
I will be mostly taking pics around the 30-40M (99 - 132Ft) for anything deeper I doubt I would take a camera just because of all the task loading -
So what kind of system can I build with and grow I could end up investing any where from $400 to $1000 - I would like it to last at least 4 years and like I said grow with it. How much more would I have to end up spending?
I dive in Dubai - decent viz - 20m on a good day - 2 on a bad - mostly around 10m mark. Like Wreck and dive on them most often but also venture out to Fujairah side which has abundant sea life.
This is probably the longest question asked - like I said thank you for your patience.
What housing should I get with an canon S100? (should I get an s100? or s95 good enough)
I have a headache just typing this up and thinking about all the different options out there -
Thank you so much for any comments - feedback - suggestions - insight - recommendation - views - opinions that you would provide.
