PS - Ikelite price has dropped. Some dslr housings are now below 2k.
Provided that you already own that DSLR and need not buy again :bsmilie:

depends on how often you will use it and whether this will earn you bucks... if you are using professionally, then you need to get a DSLR, but if only for yourself then a P&S will do.
No u r wrong.. 1k not enuf to buy you uw housing for ur DSLR.. not to mention ports.. arms.. strobes.. and yes, we have not even talk about the actual camera and lens yet! :bsmilie:
edit: dun forget the 100 extra accessories u will need for ur DSLR uw setup.. lol
when are you going to sipadan? diving with? i'm going there too!
Hahaha... I disagree friend.
For me... the only reason I didn't go DSLR.... is mainly COST & WEIGHT. It would cost me over $3.5K to outfit my Canon 7D and add one more Strobe. And the whole package would meant my already 'overweight' dive bag, just got heavier :sweat: That meant more pain for my back... and more pain on my wallet everytime I fly. I don't think most DSLR setup owner here earn extra selling their pics.
If COST & WEIGHT isn't a problem.... I would have die die gone DSLR... cause there isn't a good way to do REAL MACRO with a PnS camera.... even with Close-up filters. Just isn't the same 1:1 kind of photography.
antacid is correct that DSLR is really the best kind of camera for even normal divers like us..... if only we strike 4D or TOTO more offence :bsmilie:
when is the PC show? for P&S Underwater i recommend the Canon A Series. For above water the Lumix GF1...
yes .. that is the other thing i dun like about it...
to me diving is a leisurely sport for me... getting a uw cam is just anther way to document my 'travels' .. so light ...leisure...
I think i speak for many when i say: i shoot, therefore i dive.
I for one will not bother to go diving without my camera
dont we all want a DSLR setup.
Yes we do it attracts the babes as well
haha mainly people just ogle from afar. once 2 china ladies walked past and commented in chinese: so BIG, so Professional....
I wanted to burst out laughing but just walked faster instead. could hear my 2 friends behind sniggering though.... :bsmilie:
