Suggestions For New Camera

4 posts
  1. This will be my second digital camera and I'm still pretty young and not very experienced (aka I'm not going to be spending lots of money).

     

    However I would like to get another camera and get a good housing with it to play around. I do enjoy shooting photos underwater but I don't get to do it enough to develop good techniques, etc.

     

    Previously I owed a Canon A70 and then the housing from Canon that went along with it. Unfortunately I broke my camera and it's time to upgrade and was just wondering what some suggestions were. Thanks for the help.

  3. If price point is important, I'd look for a used rig on here. Either the Fuji E900, Canon G6, or the Olympus SP350. With any luck you might find someone selling a S70.

  4. So I received a Canon catalog the other day and started to look the their new products. One Powershot caught my idea. I’m looking to get back into the underwater photography hobby and thought I might have found my avenue back into the sport. Canon has a new product - SD 750 model and it looks great. Relatively inexpensive, 7.1 megapixel, Canon Housing (WP-DC14), but the best thing I think is the size of the LCD screen. It’s a whopping 3in. I think this is a great advantage to shooting underwater because you can actually see what you’re shooting. This is definitely a large improvement compared to my Canon A70 I had a few years ago.

     

    Does anyone have any experience with this camera of housing that could give me some feedback or insight? Thank you.
