REQUEST: Recommendation for U/W dig camera/housing
Quiet Voice wrote:
Greetings: I'm interested in soliciting recommendations for a digital U/W camera...either a standalone camera -OR- normal surface camera with a U/W housing. I *was* looking at the Reefmaster DC310. But I saw a bunch of negative comments about earlier Reefmaster models here on USENET. So I thought I'd get a few recommendations first. Ideally, I would like the camera to use compact-flash mem cards simply because that's what I have now and it would be nice to have something compatible. Also, it would be nice it the camera had some capability for shooting video too. And of course, avalability of accessories (such as a strobe) is also a consideration. I currently own a Minolta Dimage 7Hi. My search for a housing for it turned up only one listed as being manufactured by an outfit in Germany.....and I have not found ANY distributors for it. If anyone knows of one, I'd be interested in that info as well. Thank you! I have a Canon A75. Takes great pics, lots of great auto and manual options (including an underwater mode), $170 housing, uses CF cards. |

REQUEST: Recommendation for U/W dig camera/housing
Hi Quiet,
Nice to see another ozzie here! I use the Canon S45 and canon housing. Add on strobe and lenses Canon make their own housings as do Olympus. Cost is quite good. Have a look at my equipment on my web page www.DivingTheBlue.com HTH Tim "Quiet Voice" wrote in message om...
