amylynn829 0 Posted April 5, 2018 Hello, I am Amy from San Diego, CA. I am relatively new to formal photography so I am working on learning all that I can. I have been doing all of my underwater work with a GoPro 4 Silver edition. The reef in La Jolla preserve is one of my favorite places and I love to swim and dive as often as possible. I'm also on Scubaboard forum and a few others. I am currently looking for a system that can be more easily taken with me backpacking, hiking, and underwater. Because of this, I am looking to stick with a mirrorless system and am leaning towards M4/3 to keep size/weight of camera lenses down. Would prefer something that is weather sealed and has IBIS. Seriously considering Oly OM-D E-M5 II. If money (and weight) weren't an issue, I also like the Sony A6500. Anyway, I'm still researching what will be a good investment and leave me with plenty of years to use it as I grow in my skills so I'm open to suggestions .

amylynn829 0 Posted April 5, 2018 Hi I'm Bob from Winnipeg, nice to find this community. I have been using an Olympus omd 5 mark 11 with the ep pt13 housing. I know very little about either and find info from Olympus is like pulling hen's teeth. Happy diving all! Hi I'm Bob from Winnipeg, nice to find this community. I have been using an Olympus omd 5 mark 11 with the ep pt13 housing. I know very little about either and find info from Olympus is like pulling hen's teeth. Happy diving all! Hi Bob! I'm actually considering the EM5 II as well. I'm interested to hear your feedback on both the camera and the housing. If I do go with this model of camera I think I would like to save for the Nauticam but am tempted by the great package deal you can get for the oly housing.

harttrah 0 Posted April 9, 2018 Howdy. James Hart here, from Utah. I have been using a Olympus E5 Mii w/ sea and sea strobes and a kraken 3500 video light for the last year. Trying to decide whether to upgrade to a Panasonic GH5 or Olympus E1 Mii...or go all the way with a Sony? I have heard great things about this site. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wah 0 Posted April 10, 2018 Hi... I'm Mike. I've been diving for 7 years and am just starting to enjoy taking better quality photos of things I see underwater. I picked up an Olympus TG-4 and a housing... which slowly led to the a new tray, wide angle lens, Inon s2000 strobe, and an Adobe CC subscription. I'm still learning, but it has added another dimension to my diving. Since I'm not really into photography topside, I hope to get to a point where camera settings become 2nd nature.

fdo 0 Posted April 23, 2018 Hi, I have been doing UW photography for several years now. Have used different type of gear over the years. My favorite, as a compromised between form and function, is the micro 4/3 line. Currently, using an Aquatica A EM1. Thinking about upgrading, just in case anyone is interested in buying. Cheers.
