I'm moving up in UW photo gear from a Sealife DC500 to a Nikon 5100 or 6000 P&S, plus an Ikelite housing. Question is: Do I go with the DS-51 or 125?
I've read a lot on SB and other places and am tending toward the 51 since I'll start with a single, but probably go to twins down the line. I'll be getting the Ikelite WA lens with the housing.
I take everything from macro to WA. I've shot over 10,000 pictures with the DC500, so I'm confortable UW with the gear but it's time to move on. Most of the diving is warm water (above 60 F) in reasonably clear conditions (viz >40').
I work with a LDS, so I'll get a big break on price. I'll probably wait for the P6000 unless I can get a great deal on a P5100.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
