Hi all
Bit of background first: I've been diving for 24 years. During that time I've done a bit of everything, including being an instructor, wreck diving, cave diver etc. These days I'm so busy with my job that I just get to spend some time in warm waters and have in the last few years taken to photography.
I've been diving with a Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5 with their underwater housing for a couple of years and have been getting some good pics with it, but it's reaching the end of its lifespan. The thought of a big camera fills me with some dread - I want something that's a little better than what I have, but I like the portability of it. So, I'm considering the RX100 with a nauticam housing. So, I'm interested in people's opinions. i've attached a couple of photos to show what I'm currently taking, which are limited somewhat because I don't have the ability to take wider shots.
Also, my kit is getting old and I will be needing to purchase a new bcd. What are people's thoughts about back inflate vs traditional etc?
Thanks all
I'm in a similar position. I mostly shoot macro, but there's the occasional 'omg an eagle ray' shoot I'd like on video. Has anyone tried Ikelite Vega's (http://www.ikelite.com/lighting/2101-vega-video-light.html)? I'm currently shooting with a nauticam housing and Sony rx100II. I'd like to add some focus light capabilities as I found this the hardest thing to accomplish on getting it to focus. So this would sit on the hot shoe for the camera.
