I am looking to buy my first underwater camera set up. I like the Canon S70 a great deal (with the DC40 housing) but am very confused with all the strobe choices. A friend of mine suggested that I look at Sunpak strobes and I found that the G-Flash is rated to 148 feet (deeper than I will go). What are your thoughts on a set up like this?
With regard to the type of photographer I am:
1) I want something that is very easy to use – I have no interest in struggling with downloading the pictures or getting the strobe to fire.
2) I would like nice pictures but could care less if they are magazine quality.
3) I will use the camera mostly above water.
4) I most likely will not print too many of the pictures.
5) I would like to keep the cost for the full set up to less than $1500 USD.
