Hi all, i'm an underwater photo enthusiast from Italy.

After 12 years of intense use my Nikonos V flooded…

After many years of underwater images i'm  thinking to switch to digital underwater.

i'm already using on land an old Nikon D200 with a couple of lens  (token 12-24, nik 50 mm and some others zoom..)   but i'm in the point to decide what system to buy.

My budget 1500 euro / 2000 $ approx. for a starter kit. ( 1 port 1 flash)

The decision is not easy for me:

i love the compact and lens quality of Nikonos system and i want similar quality, but is better to go to dSLR housing and keep my Nikon D200 or going to a micro 4/3 system like the Panasonic GH2 or Oly PL3 or similar ?

with old Nikon i can buy an used system ( Ikelite ?) and save some for a new lens, and port…but lower resolution , no video and quite old technology compared to the new micro 4/3. and bulky…very bulky

with micro 4/3 stuff : greater  resolution, video, new technology and relative compact system but i think expensive and lag ???

Resolution is important but lens quality and lighting much more…

any advice to help me to decide?

thanks

Cris
