My mind is swimming. No pun intended. Here's my situation:
I have a Sealife DC1400 (gently used) that takes so-so pictures. Truth be told, this is the first year I've used it where the flash works, the battery is fully charged, and I could get close enough to any "critters" that my pictures weren't awash in blue. I also have a Canon T4i that I love for topside photography but have never purchased lenses, housing, or strobes for. One of the divemasters that we dive with in Cozumel uses a Canon G15 with a Recsea housing -- no strobes -- and his pictures are gorgeous.
Here's my dilemma and where I need advice. If you were me, with very limited (practically none) experience in underwater photography, would you:
Also, if you could point me in the direction of photos taken with the Sealife (to convince me it's a decent camera) and the T4i, that would help immensely.
Thanks all!

Here's my dilemma and where I need advice. If you were me, with very limited (practically none) experience in underwater photography, would you:
- Keep the existing Sealife camera and continue to practice with it
- Get an underwater housing, the proper lens(es), and possibly strobe for the T4i
- Consider purchasing a G16 (since it has the wifi) and an underwater housing (I like Ikelite, but your opinions would be appreciated)
Also, if you could point me in the direction of photos taken with the Sealife (to convince me it's a decent camera) and the T4i, that would help immensely.
