I'm new to all this. Last year, I bought the WPDC40 for my Canon S60. Used it on one trip to the Caymans and got some decent shots as long as it was shallow. I'm going to Turks & Caicos in a couple of weeks and have been looking into buying a strobe so I can get some better pictures on the deeper dives.
Here's the catch: my S60 is intermittently working, but I can a). send it back to Canon for repair, b). buy a used one on e-Bay for not much more than the Canon repair cost, c). buy an S70 on e-Bay for twice as much as the repair (but get an upgraded camera), or d). just buy a new camera and housing (last resort).
My housing does not have a hot shoe, but when/if I upgrade later, I'd like to have something that does. Therefore, can anyone recommend a strobe that I can use with my current Canon set-up but that will grow with me later on should I decide to upgrade?
Thanks in advance!
P.S. - Yes, I did a search. Any posts referencing my camera/housing setup and a strobe are at least two years old. Local dive shops seem to only want to sell me a whole new set-up, so I'm turning to the collective wisdom and experience here.
